Why do people create art? How do
artists paint pictures? What is line, tone, texture and
pattern? Lifting the lid on Art answers these and many more
questions to help teach art in the classroom and in art
galleries. It explores paintings, sculpture, decorative works
of art, modern art, art from the past and art from a variety
of cultures. All the points are explained in clear and simple
terms, and illustrated with over 40 works of art from local
collections throughout the UK. There are also suggestions for
imaginative activities which explore the ideas explained in
each chapter. They include projects for the classroom and for
visits to art galleries and museums.
