Art 9
HISTORY OF ART: CREATION TO CONTEMPORARY: Veritas Press
Art 9 curriculum is a distinctively Christian overview of art history covering well-known words like the Venus of Willendorf, the Bust of Neffertiti, Winged Victory, the Mona Lisa, and American Gothic. But the program also takes time to focus on works by Christians and art about the Christian Faith. Out of necessity an art history program that is limited to 32 flashcards will have to leave out important works. By the end of using this curriculum students will be able to identify all the major art movements in Western art as well as know the titles and artists responsible for over five dozen artistic masterpieces. These movements and works of art are the grammar of art history and will allow the student to navigate nearly every museum of Western art in the world, as well as know how they fit in the study of history.
