The Aesthetics of Art: Understanding What We See teaches students
how to look at and understand art, and how to describe the art they
see. The book begins with a review of the basic rules of
perspective from the Italian Renaissance, Leonardo Da Vinci's
scientific and mathematical concepts, Joseph Alber's theory of
color, and Rudolph Arnheim's visual perceptions. This understanding
of foundational concepts prepares students to perceive the
aesthetics of art as it transitions to abstraction at the end of
the 19th Century. Students then explore art through movements such
as Impressionism, Cubism, Futurism, Constructivism, and Fauvism.
They examine Dadaism, Surrealism, gestalt theory, and abstract
expressionism. Post-modernism, contemporary, neo-contemporary,
photography, graffiti, and public art are also explored. Artistic
movements are studied through a variety of representations such as
painting, prints, collage/assemblage, and new media. Each chapter
includes a writing assignment, critical questions, further
readings, and ideas for hands-on activities so that students can
explore art through experience. The second edition features new
content on art evolution after the Renaissance through a
philosophical and scientific view. Written to increase curiosity
about and joy in art, The Aesthetics of Art is an excellent
resource for survey courses in art history and appreciation.
