A Heart For Art [Paperback]

If you are interested in understanding art, you need both tools and knowledge of some basic facts. In A Heart for Art, author Sue Jones seeks to help you gain what you need to further your understanding, providing a guide to the four main categories of art: pictorial, sculpture, architecture, and crafts. In this study, Jones provides examples of some of the greatest works of art in these four categories and discusses them in terms of the five questions one must ask to further their art appreciation: Who made it? When was it created? What is the subject? Why did the artist create the art? What is the style? Including such works as paintings of Van Gogh, the Mona Lisa, The Thinker, and the Venus de Milo, A Heart for Art helps you learn about art-how to understand it and how to make an informed decision about what you are seeing and experiencing.
