| Summary/Abstract |
Traces the emergence of art as a part of the human experience through the earliest art forms of works as monumental as the Parthenon and Trajan's Column. Art had its beginnings in the Upper Paleolithic period, before humans invented agriculture, domesticated animals, or discovered the use of metals. Centuries later, the classical era that was Greece's golden age set standards in craftsmanship and style. The Encyclopedia of Art for Young People is an eight-volume set, arranged chronologically, that celebrates the rich history of art in an appealing and accessible format. Using full-colour reproductions of well-known masterpieces and providing in-depth coverage of the life and times of pivotal artists, this colourful new work is a solid introductory reference.
