Art Matters Student Resources

Description

Art Matters provides a host of activities and self-study tools to help you discover the vibrancy and significance of art:

  • An enhanced eBook integrates the text's engaging narrative with a rich assortment of audio and video resources. Along with the below resources, the eBook includes:
    • Interactive Quick Review questions tied to each learning objective allow you to enter your own responses and then see suggested answers from the author.
    • Audio pronunciations demonstrate how to pronounce difficult terms and artist's names
  • Compelling videos, including demonstrations of art techniques by contemporary artists and “How Art Matters” mini-documentaries tied to each chapter-opening story, provide you with an inside look into the creation of art, further emphasize why art matters, and allow you to engage with and answer questions about multimedia content.   
  • “Explore Art Matters” activities at the end of each chapter enable you to get involved with art in a multi-part project, so that you can broadly analyze and apply what you have learned in the text. They also help you develop key competencies that you will need in life such as the ability to communicate successfully, think critically, collaborate as an effective team member, understand social and ethical responsibilities, and be aware of global and cultural issues.
  • Interactive Image Walkthroughs guide you through two annotated figures from each chapter, modeling ways to look at an image.  Brief multiple choice assessments follow each interactive walkthrough.
  • Interactive timelines for select chapters in Part IV allow you to explore the chapter's artwork outside of the textual narrative. From the timeline, jump right into the rich content of the text that interests you.
  • Quizzes, assessments, and flashcards test your knowledge and compre­hension of key ideas and concepts and supply immediate feedback on your understanding.
