- 1.2: What Is Art Appreciation?
- Appreciation of the visual arts goes beyond staring at a painting hanging on the wall of a museum—art is in everything and everywhere you look. Opening your eyes to the world of art is essential in understanding the world around you.
- 1.3: How to Compare and Contrast Art
- Comparing modern paintings and historic paintings brings an understanding of how the past influences the present. Learning the elements of art, design, and art methods will help you communicate and write with a new language to compare and contrasting art.
- 1.4: Art Materials and Methods - Key Terms
- Art materials and methods are anything an artist uses to create art in any combination. Materials and methods also can be defined as the process of manufacturing or fabrication of a piece of art such as bronze needs to be melted and poured into a mold to be a finished piece of art.
- 1.5: The Start of Art - Overview
- The definition of Prehistoric is defined as any time prior to the written word by humans. Does that make the history any less valuable? No, for definition ‘pre’ means before the first evidence of written language. Maybe there is evidence not yet found. How would that change the definition? Prehistoric time can be divided into two periods: Paleolithic beginning about 2.6 million years ago to 12,000 BCE; and the Neolithic beginning 12,000 BCE and continuing until to 4500 BCE.
- 1.6: Cave Art
- Many people wonder how scientists establish the approximate dates of ancient art. In the late 1940s, the University of Chicago developed a method called radio carbon dating which relies on the amount of carbon located in the object in reference to the amount of carbon in the atmosphere.
