Likewise, the Shinto shrine at Ise provides students with the opportunity to study concepts in engineering and physics. The complex has been rebuilt every twenty years since the seventh century, each time without the use of nails, employing the mortise-and-tenon technique.

Study of the shrine not only offers students the opportunity to study STEM concepts, but also enables students outside arts-related fields to learn about Shintoism and the aesthetic associated with shrines dedicated to Shinto kami nature spirits. These concepts are clearly and concisely addressed on pages and as part of the discussion of the Ise Shrine. Along with lesson-appropriate selections from the introduction, the book delivers a thorough background to students new to the discipline of art history and the evaluation of works of art and architecture.

The text is written in a direct and engaging manner. Its readability allows teachers of any discipline to use the text with high school students for independent reading in both career and college-level tracks. Middle school teachers may want to read with students to ensure comprehension.

The use of quotes and beautiful visuals makes this text an invaluable resource in Global Studies, where I focus on the arts of Africa and Asia. In chapter 1, students are shown the Great Departure of the Buddha from the Great Stupa at Sanchi, India, to emphasize the use of the continuous narrative, offering visual reinforcement that parallels their study of the life of the Buddha, thus familiarizing students with the symbols that are associated with him This detailed look at just a small part of the east gateway of the Great Stupa reinforces the grandeur of this monumental structure and the importance of Buddhism.

These details speak to countless hours of dedicated artisans who toiled to craft this work Approximately a quarter to a third of the students in Global Studies will continue their study of art history by enrolling in my Advanced Placement Art History course. As teachers of this subject know, the College Board recently changed the focus of the AP exam to encourage depth of knowledge by focusing on works of art made by artists around the world from the prehistoric to modern day and time periods, working in a wide range of media.

Students must be able to address the form, function, content, and context for each of these selected artworks. Few texts provide such an in-depth and wide-ranging look at current artistic trends in Asia. I use these questions as another way to encourage students to compare and contrast previously studied pieces with those addressed in each chapter. As a Studio Art teacher, I am always seeking art beyond the European tradition to use as examples for my students.

I have used many works within the text as a visual prompt to help students begin brainstorming for their next piece. Kher, who is now based in New Delhi after being born and studying in England, uses found objects, as well as many other kinds of media, just as the painter Robert Rauschenberg did in the creation of his Combines. Students should be exposed to both artists, enriching their understanding of how art mirrors not only a culture but a time period.

From this introduction, students were tasked with the creation of a mixed-media sculpture that spoke to an issue of their choosing. Established seller since Seller Inventory PB Seller Inventory New-May Items related to Asian Art.
