IN ASSOCIATION WITH
Any homeschool parent will do well to go through some or all of the Worldviews in Art curriculum recommended for rhetoric stage students as preparation for art history and understanding how art reflects the worldviews of its society. An addition, the resources listed below are outstanding and will provide a parent with vital information necessary for a complete art education.
Looking At Pictures
Joy Richardson
Subtitled: An introduction to art for young people. This fascinating book looks behind the scenes at paintings in the museum, and double page spreads illustrated with masterpieces of western art explain such topics as why and how paintings were made, paintings that tell stories or have hidden meanings, the uses of color and paint, ways that artists make the three dimensional world appear real on two dimensional paper, using light in paintings, composition in paintings, and more. This book can help bring a greater appreciation to art history studies and visits to the museum.
Art and the Bible
Francis Schaeffer
Part of the late Dr. Schaeffer’s legacy to modern Christians is the return of the knowledge we once had that all truth is God’s truth, and God and His truth permeate all aspects of our lives. Therefore, Christians have no buisness abandoning what we have thought of as “secular” activities, such as the governance of human affairs, for example. Philosophy, literature, government, and every aspect of human endeavor should not be properly divided into their “secular” and “sacred” compartments, but are rather expressions of worldviews such as humanist and Christian. The arts are no exception. In this book Dr. Schaeffer turns his attention to the arts and provides a detailed examination with Biblical underpinnings of what art is and does, and how and why.
The Annotated Mona Lisa
Carol Strickland
Subtitled: A Crash Course in Art History from Prehistoric to Post-Modern. “The Annotated Mona Lisa demystifies art history. It’s a brisk, clearly stated survey, from cave painting to conceptual art, that doesn’t talk down to its reader and doesn’t assume a prior art education. And, most important, it never bores. Dynamic design, with succinct, page-length essays, frequent sidebars, and abundant color illustrations incorporated into the text, make The Annotated Mona Lisa a browser’s delight, as well as an authoritative reference that can be read from cover to cover.” Thorough, highlighting the history and politics that influenced art, but without the comprehensive detail in History of Art for Young People.
