It gives you methods to assess a design and really see what the artist was doing. Unlike chaotic art writings, terms are clearly defined, categorized, organized and illustrated. It is designed to answer questions like: What things will allow me to understand art? What are the basic elements? What is concept art? Can you \"read\" a work of abstract art? Visual literacy is the ability to interpret, negotiate, and make meaning from information presented in art work. Art Savvy gives you this. Defining Terms: Often art terms are not clearly defined, are used interchangeably or get mixed up with other types of analysis. For a thorough exploration of all aspects of art, photos of great works are referenced with color keyed notations to illustrate the 5 easy pieces: 1. Design Elements- Visual grammar, line, shape, form, mass etc. - definitions \u0026amp; how to see them. 2. Organization Principles- How elements are arranged and how this effects the concept.3. Style- Relation to other groups of work and formulas for design.4. Technique- How methods and materials are used to impact the concept.5. Concept- What this piece about. What major themes and elements were used.Assessment techniques in each section of Art Savvy will train your eye to always see these 5 aspects of any artwork. It is not attempting judgments of relevance, philosophy, spiritual meanings and other ethereal aspects that a work may convey. This text poses the question: \"What is the basic concept here?\" but sticks to pure analysis and leaves all judgment to you and the experts. This field guide is a mini textbook on design principles that will let you understand art!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria White,Tj Aitken\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1492133493\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781492133490\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/23\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 42\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.11d","brand":"Victoria White","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48436759134463,"sku":"9781492133490","price":9.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_698a1c6b-53c5-440e-a5bd-b1b39cb1cafc.jpg?v=1777157590","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/art-savvy-victoria-white-9781492133490","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
