Exploring World Art

Exploring World ArtExploring World Art by Andrea Belloli

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


This book groups works of art together on a topic regardless of where they were created or when. This is useful for a very general introduction to art history, but does not provide much depth. The descriptions of each work provide information about the time, place, and culture in which the object was created. This is a very visual book - a bit like the Eyewitness books from DK press - only with more depth on each particular picture. Overall, an interesting book for young people (6th grade +) interested in art or history, but not a useful book for an assignment (not enough depth on any one thing).
