Library Media Connection

This series of Discovering Art features short volumes detailing very specific categories of art. While the content of these books is quite readable and interesting, the scarcity of photographs reduces their appeal. While perusing the books, I referred to the Internet several times for a visual because I very much wanted to see these works that were so exquisitely described. Source notes, suggested readings and an index complete each volume.

Gr 6 Up–Each of these slender volumes provides a brief definition, information on technique, and a history of the art form in question. Some—Sculpture, for instance—necessarily provide a somewhat superficial perspective, distilling a complex topic to a mere 80 pages. However, the writing is simple and readable, and though educators may wish to supplement with more comprehensive sources, these are solid offerings for laying out the basics.
