Ruta turistica Castillo la Mancha




We’re all just a click or two away from an intriguing video on the Net, an appetite-whetting essay on a scholarly website, and an enthusiastic discussion in a message board. Another few clicks and we can order the film itself, either on DVD or download. It’s true that watching at home may not be the same as seeing it in a crowded cinema. But - for the film-maker as well as the viewer - it’s better than not watching it at all.

Teruel



In the visual arts, style is a "...distinctive manner which permits the grouping of works into related categories". or "...any distinctive, and therefore recognizable, way in which an act is performed or an artifact made or ought to be performed and made". It refers to the visual appearance of a work of art that relates it to other works by the same artist or one from the same period, training, location, "school", art movement or archaeological culture: "The notion of style has long been the art historian's principal mode of classifying works of art. By style he selects and shapes the history of art".
