This Twine is inspired by World Art Studies, a book that presents new ways to look at art, beyond the frameworks of traditional European Art History. Art History is often described as a timeline where new techniques, styles and movements are developed. The book proposes an alternative approach to think about it, one of these is art as an anthropological phenomenon. Art doesn’t limit itself to masterpieces in museums but is something that humans started doing all over the world and in a lot of different ways.
