This beautifully illustrated book seeks to tell children the true,
diverse and decolonised story of art around the world. Even before
they could write, people were telling stories with pictures. And
though art is universal, the story we know about it is not. Â
A Whole World of Art opens your eyes to a global view of art by
taking you on a whirlwind tour around the world and through time.
With two companions – a boy and a girl – travel through 25
destinations from the history of art, circling the globe. Â
As they travel, they explore the rich visual canon from each
culture they visit through looking at different key works and
examine the lives of the artists who created them. Each spread
shows a stunning, edge-to-edge illustrated scene from art history
portraying an artist or artists making important artwork within a
detailed background. A paragraph of introductory text and small
captions around the page give fascinating details about the artists
and the time and place in which they lived. Art project ideas
provide inspiration throughout. Visit: Athens, Greece (450
BCE), where you will marvel at the gleaming gold statues and
marble architecture; The Ming Dynasty, China (1368–1644),
where you will discover intricate designs, drawings and calligraphy
on paper and porcelain;Â Benin City, Africa (1550), where you
will meet the brass-casters who create elaborately detailed plaques
and ornaments only for the Oba (or king);Â Coyoacan, Mexico
(1907–1954), where you will get to know the painters Frida Kahlo
and Diego Rivera;Â Written by art history teacher Dr Sarah
Phillips, who rewrote and decolonised the A Level syllabus in the
UK, and illustrated by talented artist Dion Mehaga Bangun
Djayasaputra, this gorgeous book offers a fresh, inclusive view of
the history of art.
