Abstract
The simplest, most visual explanation of art - ever How does perspective work? Why do some paintings make us feel certain ways? What is Impressionism and why is it important? Art can be daunting for beginners - but it doesn't have to be. With the help of this book you can see how art is made, learn about its different forms, and understand the ways artists convey messages. With clear, easy-to-understand graphics and packed with fascinating facts, How Art Works explains everything you need to know about art, from the basic tools and techniques to the meanings of great masterpieces.
