The Language of Art Knowledge Cards - $9.95

“Great art moves beyond the realm of its own medium and reaches out, evoking emotion or inspiring ideas. But the ability to identify the style and medium of a compelling piece can greatly enrich the viewing experience. With this deck of 48 Knowledge Cards you will embark on an enlightening journey into the terminology of the art world. Learn the definition of styles and movements (abstract expressionism, pointillism, Dadism), media (gouache, tempera), and methods (impasto, drypoint, chiaroscuro). Descriptive examples and historical facts accompany the definition of each art-related word. Longtime art Lovers and Neophytes alike will find The Language of Art to be a fascinating and reliable tool - and you'll never confuse a caryatid with a kouros again.” (Courtesy of Pomegranate Press)

Mona Lisa, The Kiss & The Thinker Knowledge Cards - $9.95

“From BC-era mathematics to twentieth-century house construction, this Pomegranate pop quiz in a box has much more than paint on its palette. Musical influences, unusual coloring agents, scandals, and a brawl add details and texture as Mona Lisa, The Kiss & The Thinker tests your knowledge of the history of art. On the front of each of the 48 Knowledge Cards, you’ll be presented with a textual sketch of a technique, an artist, a movement, a specific work of art, etc.—followed by a question or two or three. Your goal is to flesh out the canvas of each question with a well-crafted answer. Guidance and tutoring are available on the backs of the cards. The results are equally satisfying whether pursued solo in the studio or shared among the like-minded members of your school of art.” (Courtesy of Pomegranate Press)
