Riassunto:

An ideal supplemental text for any undergraduate course in humanities, or Introduction to the Arts.

Helping students learn how to observe, enjoy, think about and feel in response to the arts, this practical beginner's guide to appreciating and experiencing culture gives students a handy introduction to the world of arts that they can carry with them. Self-contained chapters provide an essential companion guide to understanding a specific art―i.e., painting, sculpture, music, theater―with concisely defined key terms one should know, as well as a clear and insightful explanation of its process of creation.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

This guide assists readers through their encounters with the best in human culture and creativity. Each chapter concisely introduces an art form through its historical or social importance, its essential vocabulary, and its important styles or artists. From there, each chapter leads readers through the unique experience of the art and ends with a companion guide which focuses on questions to ask, terms to remember and a reminder that readers should think and feel for themselves.

In each chapter:

• The Tool Kit
• A glossary of everything the reader needs to know about a particular art form
• Style Guide
• Important styles or principal artists
• Step-by-step directions to guide the reader through the experience of an art
• A Companion to the Art
