The vocabulary and concepts presented in this part of the textbook are important when looking at art - and therefore, when learning about art history. This "formal" language can help to understand how a work of art was made and some of the decisions that were made along the way. When trying to interpret art, this information can be crucial. Use the textbook as a reference throughout the year.
