For courses in Art Appreciation. A captivating exploration of the history of art in the West and throughout the world, this lively narrative encourages students to develop an appreciation for a diverse range of works of art. Author Henry M. Sayre attempts to demystify the creation of art, allowing students to see it as critical thinking and problem solving that has relevance to their lives as students and thinkers. Further enhanced with a FREE CD-ROM and an interactive WWW site, the text presents art as a rich array of materials and aesthetic elements combined with the inner workings of the human spirit, passion, emotion, and creativity.
