Art For Beginners

Understanding art means understanding the way images shape our views of ourselves and of the world. Art for Beginners discusses artwork as a record of everyday life, historic events, and the imagination. It introduces readers to individual artists, various genres, specific uses of materials, and theories of composition. It is especially useful to understand the modernist movements, with its complex theories and ideas. The inclusion of philosophies, by "name-brand" philosophers; furthermore, helps the reader to tie the concepts together. The closing pages address art's role as a commodity in consumer culture, and a glossary defines key movements, techniques, and styles.
