Publisher's Synopsis
There are so many fascinating worlds under the nurturing umbrella of visual arts. From painting to sculpture, and from graphic design to film, every discipline is like a new brilliant facet of a sparkling diamond.
I am a huge fan of the arts, and I invite all of you to join me on this journey. This book will show you a glossary of common art terms, but with a difference. Rather than just putting down the words for you to read, as a normal glossary might do, it poses a set of challenges. Can you battle through the obstacles in the path of your mind, and end up with all the visual art words that I intended to hint at? Terminology has always been important in any field, and this is doubly true of the world of visual arts, with its rich history and multiple schools of thought. To understand the world more clearly, it is crucial that we are able to call things by their right names, in order to have more fruitful discussions with experts. This book acts as a seed to fix many fascinating terms in your head, so that you can explore more about them when you have time, and ultimately become an authority on the subject.By the end of the book, I am sure that you will feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. Have fun!
