- Summary:
-
"Visions" introduces art and drama students to the Asian styles and techniques which have had an increasing influence on European, and Australian, art and performance. Textile designers, actors, architects, dancers, print-makers and painters can find inspiration in cultural ideas from Asia. Australian artists are learning to combine elements of their own culture with ideas from Asia. This practical book encourages students to explore these different influences and to gain an appreciation of many Asian art techniques in their historical and philosophical context. Works of Indonesian, Balinese, Chinese, Indian and Japanese artists are introduced, and young Australian performers are interviewed. An extensive list of activities gives students the opportunity to apply Asian ideas to their own work. The text is illustrated with a large number of colour photographs.
