Faces, Places and Inner Spaces: A Guide to Looking at Art
In the faces found in art (portraits, self-portraits, masks, etc.), readers discover how people from different cultures and times saw themselves. By looking at landscapes and cityscapes, readers become aware of everyday life as well as times from the past that don't exist anymore as well as a glimpse of the future. Among the works included are an African mask, a West Mexican clay-pole dance scene, a Hindu sculpture, a Chinese screen, a Japanese actor print, as well as Surreal objects by Cornell, paintings by Van Gogh, Miro, and others. This work includes a 'mirror' so kids can look at and discuss their own face and an acetate sheet bound in to use for other activities.

An intensely visual approach
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Typically the Amulet Books imprint of this publisher are featured in our Children's Bookwatch issue - but A HISTORY OF WESTERN ART is simply too good an introduction to the cultural legacy of western art to limit its readership to young readers alone, and deserves a place in the libraries of any collection strong in introductory arts titles for all students of art history and for none-specialist readers with an interest in art regardless of their age. A HISTORY OF WESTERN ART: FROM PREHISTORY TO THE 20TH CENTURY is lavishly illustrated with over two hundred color reproductions of art pieces, photos, and supporting documents, offering an intensely visual approach which captures the essence of world art trends and progression.
