SynopsisArt and words combined are a powerful force for teaching and learning. The portraits and biographies in The Great Minds Collection present the lives and achievements of individuals who have changed the world. Selections have been made from a historical perspective, from ancient civilization to the twenty-first century, emphasizing the great minds of religion, philosophy, art, science, and politics. From Isaac Newton to Albert Einstein, Shakespeare to Mark Twain, Benjamin Franklin to Nelson Mandela, each one bent the curve of human thought in directions only made possible by their contributions. Freud altered the perception of human behavior; Darwin applied science to evolution; Mozart reinvigorated musical composition. Each great mind created radical departures from what preceded them. The large stylized portraits, each an acrylic on canvas, are by Robin Morris, a contemporary artist. On every page, her paintings capture the humanity and mental energy of her subjects, bringing them to life in dramatic color and striking originality. The single page biographies by Jane Resnick, are the written equivalent of the art, snapshots that distill the lives of these individuals to their essence, explaining the singular impact their lives have made on succeeding generations. The original works for this book can be hung as an exhibition for museums, art venues, college campuses, public buildings, and wherever art and education intersect. The book itself holds exciting potential for academic use as a framework for college or high school courses offering a broad perspective of human thought. The intention is that the Collection will increase as exhibitors select more great minds and add new possibilities for exploring creativity, innovation, and knowledge.
