Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Arts education is regarded as an essential part of quality
education which not only enhances learners' social, personal and
intellectual development, but also their critical and creative
thinking skills. It provides learners with opportunities to work
collaboratively with each other and in so doing, to develop respect
for others' opinions and backgrounds. It is also a healthy outlet
for emotions and ideas that learners may not otherwise be able to
express. Creative arts education provides guidelines on how to
teach dance, drama, visual arts and music in a more animated,
vibrant and practical manner so as to allow each child to reach his
full potential. Based on the grades 7-9 curricula, Creative arts
education provides examples and activities to enable creative arts
teachers to put theory into practice. Besides sections for each art
form, a full chapter is devoted to inclusive education, learning
barriers and how best to accommodate the different learning styles
and needs of a diverse class of learners. Structural guidance
according to CAPS requirements is also included. Creative arts
education is aimed at all prospective and practising grades 7-9
teachers of visual arts, dance, music and drama.
What was the golden secret known to Leonardo da Vinci, Kepler,
Plato and the ancient magicians? Can there really be a key to
nature and life itself? In this small but compact volume,
internationally renowned divine proportion supersleuth Dr. Olsen
unravels perhaps the greatest mystery of all time, a code that
seems to underly life, the universe and everything, a pattern we
instinctively recognise as beautiful, and which nature herself uses
at every scale. Designed for artists and scientists alike, this is
the smallest, densest and most beautiful book on the golden section
ever produced. WOODEN BOOKS are small but packed with information.

Who was ultimately responsible for sentencing Jesus to death on
the cross? Can we ever be good enough for God? Do all "religious"
people go to heaven?
In "Who Put Jesus on the Cross?" A.W. Tozer examines some of the
most difficult questions of the Christian faith. His indictment of
lackluster belief forms the cornerstone of his appeal as he asks
the reader what it really costs to be a Christian.
Tozer inspires conviction that will have you digging deep within
your heart to newly realize the meaning of Christ's death and
resurrection and discover the "Word of God as the foundation of our
peace and rest."

Featuring international contributions from leading and emerging
scholars, this innovative Research Handbook presents a panoramic
view of how law sees visual art, and how visual art sees law. It
resists the conventional approach to art and law as inherently
dissonant - one a discipline preoccupied with rationality,
certainty and objectivity; the other a creative enterprise
ensconced in the imaginary and inviting multiple, unique and
subjective interpretations. Blending these two distinct
disciplines, this unique Research Handbook bridges the gap between
art and law. This highly original Research Handbook provides
stimulating and provocative discussions that bring together
multiple perspectives on how art and law relate to each other in
all of their various manifestations, across diverse legal regimes,
fields, contexts, and times. With the objective of starting an
interdisciplinary dialogue on visual art and the law, this Research
Handbook reflects the varied voices of lawyers, artists,
criminologists and curators, and engages with broad notions of the
two fields, exploring established themes alongside new areas and
unfamiliar questions. Wide-ranging and accessible, the Research
Handbook on Art and Law will be of interest to law students and
scholars engaged with the fields of law and the visual arts, as
well as copyright lawyers, art historians and socio-legal scholars.
As negentienjarige ryloper in Spanje beland Frank Westerman
toevallig in die dorpie Banyoles, waar ’n opgestopte
“Kalahari-Boesman”, slegs bekend as El Negro, uitgestal word. Sy
indrukke bly hom by – en wanneer hy dekades later weer van El Negro
lees, die keer in ’n Franse koerant, is dit die begin van ’n
ondersoeksreis wat belangrike vrae oor rasopvattings en die
Westerse beskawing na vore bring. Wie was hierdie naamlose man? Wat
se sy opgestopte “museumteenwoordigheid” oor Europese denke oor
slawerny, rassisme en kolonialisme – en bied hy slegs ’n spieel op
’n vergange tyd, of ook op die hede?
A ground-breaking new anthology in the Art in Theory series,
offering an examination of the changing relationships between the
West and the wider world in the field of art and material culture
Art in Theory: The West in the World is a ground-breaking anthology
that comprehensively examines the relationship of Western art to
the art and material culture of the wider world. Editors Paul Wood
and Leon Wainwright have included 370 texts, some of which appear
in English for the first time. The anthologized texts are presented
in eight chronological parts, which are then subdivided into key
themes appropriate to each historical era. The majority of the
texts are representations of changing ideas about the cultures of
the world by European artists and intellectuals, but increasingly,
as the modern period develops, and especially as colonialism is
challenged, a variety of dissenting voices begin to claim their
space, and a counter narrative to western hegemony develops. Over
half the book is devoted to 20th and 21st century materials, though
the book's unique selling point is the way it relates the modern
globalization of art to much longer cultural histories. As well as
the anthologized material, Art in Theory: The West in the World
contains: A general introduction discussing the scope of the
collection Introductory essays to each of the eight parts,
outlining the main themes in their historical contexts Individual
introductions to each text, explaining how they relate to the wider
theoretical and political currents of their time Intended for a
wide audience, the book is essential reading for students on
courses in art and art history. It will also be useful to
specialists in the field of art history and readers with a general
interest in the culture and politics of the modern world.
