Starting time your review of Gardner's Art Through the Ages: The Western Perspective, Book I

A textbook I actually read! And was actually readable. It helped that Kleiner was my professor and his humor was evident in the writing, fifty-fifty though he had to get out some of the naughtier bits out.

"Double-barreled super-stud of a centaur."

I absolutely loved this textbook and the class that I bought it for. I wasn't anticipating liking art history equally much as I did. I will definitely be hanging onto this book for a very, very long time and have no intention of selling it back.
This is an older edition of the book but, depending on your teacher, I definitely think that you lot can get by with but buying this edition, especially if your schoolhouse library has a copy of whatever edition is being used in your class bachelor.

This is an older edition of the book but, depending on your instructor, I definitely think that you tin can get past with just buying this edition, especially if your schoolhouse library has a copy of whatever edition is beingness used in your class available. Although this edition has one less chapter than the about recent editions, I found that I was able to go far through just fine in the form that I was taking. I would definitely do some inquiry into the class that you're taking and the professor's teaching style earlier deciding to buy this edition instead of the almost recent 1, though. If you practise decide to buy this edition, you can notice it for well-nigh $five at a lot of used bookstores. I've found that information technology was a much better choice than buying the most recent edition for $120. ...more

Unfortunately, I tin can't claim to have read every single word of this. I went through it with my kids as an Art Survey sort of class. Information technology's pretty bully, though. I love the pictures and explanations.

One thing that bothered me was in the Americas affiliate. They talked up a certain type of pottery so much and then didn't show any pictures of it. Zero major, but information technology still miffed me.

I enjoyed reading chapters 1-18 in this textbook. Such an enjoyment for my ARTS 1303 course. With visual illustrations and detailed representations of historical art, someone is surely able to observe themselves sucked into a whole new world.

This is an updated version of the college art history textbook I used dorsum in the seventies... thank goodness I didn't accept to read this one! While this and volume two provide ample photos of art work thoughout history, what defective is that its a history that lacks women artists!
