Creating Art for All Ages

This is book one of a series of three books. The series takes students on an interdisciplinary cross content journey entitled, Creating Art for All Ages. Each book provides experiences in language arts, social studies, math, and art as students investigate ancient and modern civilizations.

Industry and Imagination in Ancient and Modern Civilizations is the third book of the series and examines the generations of the Industrial Revolution, society during WWI and WWII, and Modern and Contemporary times. During the era of the Industrial Revolution, the role of the artist transformed as the patronage changed and advancements in photography were able to portray likenesses. The artist sought new avenues by using art as an expressive tool. As time progressed, artistic expression navigated the art into innovative, imaginative, and unique styles. Art became whatever the artist intended it to be.
