Product Description

A Quiz Deck of Movements, Materials, & Techniques

Great art moves beyond the realm of its own medium and reaches out, evoking emotion or inspiring ideas. But the ability to identify the style and medium of a compelling piece can greatly enrich the viewing experience.

With this deck of 48 Knowledge Cards you will embark on an enlightening journey into the terminology of the art world. Learn the definition of styles and movements (abstract expressionism, pointillism, Dadism), media (gouache, tempera), and methods (impasto, drypoint, chiaroscuro). Descriptive examples and historical facts accompany the definition of each art-related word. Longtime art Lovers and Neophytes alike will find The Language of Art to be a fascinating and reliable tool - and you'll never confuse a caryatid with a kouros again.
