Analyze, Understand, Appreciate
Living with Art provides the tools to help students think
critically about the visual arts. Using a wealth of examples, the first half of
the text examines the nature, vocabulary, and elements of art, offering a
foundation for students to learn to analyze
art effectively. The latter
half sets out a brief but comprehensive history of art, leading students to understand art within the context of its time and
place of origin. High quality images from a wide range of periods and cultures
bring the art to life, and topical essays throughout the text foster critical
thinking skills.
Taken together, all of these
elements help students to better appreciate
art as a reflection of the
human experience and to realize that living with art is living with ourselves.
