The volume "Grundkurs Kunst+" has now been published in the series "Grundkurs Kunst." It focuses on fundamental aspects of engaging with art. While volumes 1 to 4 each concentrate on a specific genre (painting, sculpture, architecture, and media art), "Grundkurs Kunst+" takes a cross-genre perspective, offering a variety of impulses for reflection as well as for production. Content overview: The chapter "Art History in Context" provides an excellent foundation for preparing for the Abitur: it vividly illustrates the development of art with numerous images, timelines, and maps. In the chapter "Methods," both classical, text-oriented approaches and procedures are discussed alongside creative approaches, such as philosophical reflections on art. The section "Visual Work Analysis" introduces a systematic approach for the first time.
