The new edition of this introductory survey of art and art history continues to emphasize the process of making art by interweaving "works in progress" features (showing how particular works of art were created) with other discussion. Coverage includes visual literacy, the value in art, and the world as artists see it; formal elements and design; the fine arts media; architecture and design; and the various periods of art history. Also included in this edition are features that encourages critical thinking and a CD-ROM with interactive exercises and QuickTime videos demonstrating visual principles. The whole package is a rich resource for students who will benefit from its lively approach, abundant illustrations, and variety of supplemental materials (including an elaborate website).

A bit disorganizedby Anonymous

October 02, 2009: The book had some pretty good information, however, I would have preferred a book that was organized from front to cover being pre-historical art to current art. Instead the book is organized from different types of art to different ways to critique art. Overall, though, it wasn't too bad.
