Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Art in Home and Clothing: Revised
This book was first written in the hope that it would prove helpful to students in art and related art courses. It was the result of a conviction that we progress most rapidly in our ability to recognize art quality in dress and in our home environment through a definite and organized study of art principles as they are applied to our own personal art prob lems. Furthermore, the authors believe that it is through the study of these everyday art problems such as occur in plan ning and furnishing our homes and in the selection of our clothing that students discover art as an intimate part of their lives. For many people, art is an elusive and unattainable thing, belonging to those born with artistic talent. T 0 those of us with no conscious experience with art, it seems to be set apart from everyday living and kept on a pedestal in the art gallery. With satisfaction and joy we learn that art is a possession quite possible to all of us, and that'it has a practi cal value in our own' personal problems. The purpose of this text is to guide students through a simple and practical study of everyday art with a twofold result: (i) to reveal a never ending source of enjoyment through recognition of beauty in the daily environment; and (2) to develop ability in solving the art problems of home and dress with greater success.
