Science & Technology (Through Artists' Eyes)
From ancient to modern times, as scientific and technological discoveries have been made, artists have responded to them. Science has allowed them to work in different media, from oil paint, to printing or film. From the first anatomy lessons to computer animation, science and technology have had a huge impact on art. This book explains how art styles have developed through time, and how artists' techniques add to our understanding of their work. Art is captured in a wide range of media, including photography, painting, sculpture, posters, textiles, and film. The information to help interpret works of art and understand the time in history in which they were created are included in this book.

About the Author:
Jane Bingham is a Heinemann-Raintree author.
From School Library Journal:
Grade 4–7—As great strides were being made in science and technology, artists were responding in their own ways. Painters such as Rembrandt and, much later, Thomas Eakins were fascinated by the advancements in medicine. Steam engines intrigued Turner and Monet. These are just a few examples of the intersecting of technology and science with art. Throughout Science & Technology, printing, measuring time, engineering, and communications are touched upon along with the artwork inspired by various discoveries. Using the same format, Society & Class succinctly looks at how artists have depicted the lives of farmers, hunters, rulers, slaves, soldiers, and merchants throughout history. Social change such as the French and American Revolutions inspired artists, while the rise of Communism and Fascism had a chilling effect on art. In both volumes, the full-color reproductions are well chosen and of good quality. The information is brief, but it provides a well-thought-out overview of these artistic interpretations.—Carol Schene, formerly at Taunton Public Schools, MA
