Art Is Long focuses on the connection between art, music, architecture, and literature.

The anthology covers the following genres: excerpts from novels, essays, short stories, poems, installation, pictures, cartoons, film clips, music, and journalism. A couple of funny cartoons open for a discussion about the essence of art.

The anthology contains so many texts that it is very easy to find texts suited for minor themes. If you are looking for texts about architecture there is a very interesting connection between Jeanette Winterson's short story "The Architect of Unrest", the excerpt from John Ruskin's "The Seven Lamps of Architecture" and the well-known short story by Graham Green "The Destructors".

The anthology has work sections that will guide the teacher and students safely through the world of literature and art. The audio-recordings of the texts make literature come alive in a fantastic way. The characters of the texts literally speak to you.This soul-stirring teaching material aims at activating all the students' senses.
