Throughout human history, people have created all kinds of objects to express who they are and what’s important to them. Art All Around introduces young readers to some of the most vibrant and compelling art and artifacts from around the world.   Increasingly, art historians are moving beyond a linear, chronological approach to teaching that has prioritized the Western canon and limited artworks to paintings and sculpture. Instead, they are exploring how objects across different mediums, cultures, and time periods produce “conversations” and connections within a broader web of global art.  \u003cb\u003eArt All Around\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eincludes thoughtfully chosen works from a variety of mediums, including photography, metalwork, pottery, textiles, furniture, and architecture, in addition to traditional paintings and sculpture. Each chapter features art objects from across different cultures and time periods to emphasize their thematic, stylistic, or functional commonalities within a wider web of global art production and ends with an activity page that enables readers to engage with the themes and objects more directly.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeptember 17, 2024\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FREEAIR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52854662431042,"sku":null,"price":10.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/8735\/3154\/files\/artallaround.jpg?v=1775594675","url":"https:\/\/shop.freeairbooks.com\/products\/art-all-around-us-a-kids-guide-to-finding-art-in-everyday-life-xioa-situ","provider":"FREEAIR Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
