A world of art

What is art, and how have we used it to express ourselves throughout history? From cave painting right up to pop art; the Renaissance to 20th-century sculpture, discover the stories behind great movements, processes and artists - both the household names and the perhaps not-so-familiar. Covering 30 topics, including printing, pigment, ceramics and pattern and photography, as well as Impressionism, Romanticism and Surrealism, this is a thoughtful and easily digestible approach to a huge subject.
