Book Synopsis

This book offers a comprehensive study of an art history teaching block in an upper class in a Waldorf school, covering a diverse range of work through the ages of history.

Lavishly illustrated throughout, Teaching Art History guides readers through human history via a study of art and culture. Journey from the beginnings of art in palaeolithic times to the art of ancient Egypt and the Greco-Roman era, and to European art from the Renaissance onwards. Van James is both an experienced teacher and accomplished artist, making his presentation of the subject clear and full of life. While this text is aimed at teachers of pupils in Class 9 (14-15 years old), it also features practical ideas for projects for other classes too. Featuring examples of student artwork as motivation for what pupils can produce when they are inspired to record history through art, this book also describes the positive impact that immersion in art and culture can have on teenagers.

A fascinating and engaging resource for teachers and anyone curious to learn about the study of art through the ages.
