Books with title Exploring Art

Learn to easily build gadgets, gizmos, robots, and more usingArduinoWritten by Arduino expert Jeremy Blum, this unique book uses thepopular Arduino microcontroller platform as an instrument to teachyou about topics in electrical engineering, programming, andhuman-computer interaction. Whether you're a budding hobbyist or anengineer, you'll benefit from the perfectly paced lessons that walkyou through useful, artistic, and educational exercises thatgradually get more advanced. In addition to specific projects, thebook shares best practices in programming and design that you canapply to your own projects. Code snippets and schematics will serveas a useful reference for future projects even after you'vemastered all the topics in the book.Includes a number of projects that utilize differentcapabilities of the Arduino, while interfacing with externalhardwareFeatures chapters that build upon each other, tying in conceptsfrom previous chapters to illustrate new onesIncludes aspects that are accompanied by video tutorials andother multimedia content Covers electrical engineering and programming concepts,interfacing with the world through analog and digital sensors,communicating with a computer and other devices, and internetconnectivityExplains how to combine smaller topics into more complexprojectsShares downloadable materials and source code for everythingcovered in the bookProjects compatible with many official Arduino boards includingArduino Uno; Arduino Leonardo; Arduino Mega 2560; Arduino Due;Arduino Nano; Arduino Mega ADK; LilyPad Arduino and may work withArduino-compatible boards such as Freeduino and new third partycertified boards such as the Intel GalileoExploring Arduino takes you on an adventure andprovides you with exclusive access to materials not found anywhereelse!

Art is for all students! Our middle school art program: Introducing Art (thematic approach); Exploring Art (media approach); and Understanding Art (chronological/historical approach) provides a knowledge of art that will broaden students' horizons, help them understand and appreciate other cultures, and encourage them to think more creatively and solve problems more effectively.

COME LOOK WITH ME: EXPLORING MODERN ART introduces children to twelve magnificent works of art. More importantly, it offers both children and adults a whole new way of encountering any work of art, one which engages the imagination as much as the eye.Well suited for both individual and classroom use, EXPLORING MODERN ART pairs quality art reproductions with thought-provoking questions, encouraging children to learn through visual exploration and interaction. Thoughtful text introduces the world and work of the artist, making the most of a child's natural curiosity.

Exploring begins by looking at what we find at home and then moves into exploring your garden and the the towns and shops around us. The book also covers travel and how we can explore the world around us and what we might find in different places around the world. A must for any budding explorer! Alain Grée’s stunning vintage illustrations leap out from every page and the wealth of information will be a joy for adults to share and discuss, making the potential for learning endless.

This colorful introduction to world art brings together seemingly unrelated objects--such as an Aztec calendar stone and a Flemish still life--to help children make connections between the world of art and their own lives. The art is divided into chapters on Time and Space, Other Worlds, Daily Life, History and Myth, and the World of Nature. Ancient Egyptian mummies accompany a native Alaskan mask to illustrate how various cultures have expressed belief in spirits and the afterlife, while an early American quilt and a Polynesian artifact both serve as artistic representations of daily life. An ideal resource for educators and parents, Exploring World Art will help children think about art and its various roles in society.

Exploring Africa tells of the many people who helped to map this mighty continent. It follows their expeditions across the Sahara and Kalahari deserts, along the valleys of the Congo, Niger, Nile, and Zambezi rivers, through rainforests, over mountains and on vast lakes. You will read about why the explorers set out, how they traveled, hazards they encountered on the way, native people they worked with, and more. Clear maps and superb reconstructions bring these journeys vividly to life.
