What Is Art?
What Is Art focuses on common art forms, where we find art, and how to respond to it. It also identifies art types like painting, sculpture, architecture, installation, and performance art.
Major Art Movements
Major Art Movements, including prehistoric art, ancient and classical art, Byzantine and medieval art, Renaissance art, Baroque and Romanticism, Realism and Impressionism, Cubism, Dadaism and Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, and Pop Art.
Art in Culture
Art in Culture identifies how art intersects with social and cultural influences such as identity, ethics, propaganda, philanthropy, censorship, and ownership, as well as how institutions use and promote art.
Hundreds of full-color images of famous pieces of art; videos on art, art history, and painting and drawing techniques; and links to many biographies of famous artists enhance the accessible articles. A timeline, glossaries, and Fun Facts articles round out this unique unit.
