Artforms: An Introduction to the Visual Arts Duane and Sarah Preble Book

About the Item

Artforms: An Introduction to the Visual Arts Duane and Sarah Preble Softcover Book. 5th Edition 1994. Publisher: Harpercollins College Div, 1994. For Art Appreciation, Art for Non-Majors, and Introduction to Art.Introducing students to the theory, practice, and history of art--and emphasizing art's impact on everyday life--Artforms is known for its accurate color reproductions, clean design, and meticulous editing style. The visual arts are art forms that create works which are primarily visual in nature, such as ceramics, drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, design, crafts, and often modern visual arts (photography, video, and filmmaking) and architecture. These definitions should not be taken too strictly as many artistic disciplines (performing arts, conceptual art, textile arts) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types. Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design, graphic design, fashion design, interior design and decorative art. As indicated above, the current usage of the term "visual arts" includes fine art as well as the applied, decorative arts and crafts, but this was not always the case. Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th century, the term artist was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts such as painting, sculpture etc.
