Publisher's Synopsis
The Art Through The Ages Workbook (Comprehensive Edition) is designed to accompany Gardner's now classic text Art Through The Ages. This supplemental drawing workbooks has roughly 700 drawing assignments to optimise students' understanding of the history and concepts contained in Art Through The Ages. The workbook challenges students' to undertake actual drawing exercises that will help them experience and understand the history and concepts firsthand.
A truly innovative pedagogical tool in the study of art history, Art Through The Ages Workbook endeavours to correct the inherent inadequacy of delivering visual materials through the text-centered learning. By offering a new, direct, hands-on approach, Art Through The Ages Workbook addresses, for the first times, the paradox of an image-based discipline taught through texts.
The workbook's drawing assignments enable students to retrace the steps that brought visual art from the linear representations of cave drawings, to the mind-bending experiments of the 20th-century avant-garde. And, although Art Through The Ages Workbook is based on Gardner's classic text, the workbook is also organized along the lines of a typical Art History and Art Appreciation course, which makes it easy to adopt for any art history survey.
