For Art History Survey courses The most student-friendly, contextual, and inclusive art history survey text on the market Now in its sixth edition, Art: A Brief History continues to balance formal analysis with contextual art history in order to engage a diverse student audience. Authors Marilyn Stokstad and Michael Cothren, both scholars as well as teachers, share a common vision that survey courses should be filled with as much enjoyment as learning, and that they should foster an enthusiastic, as well as an educated, public for the visual arts. By treating the visual arts as one component of a vibrant cultural landscape (which also includes politics, religion, economics, and more), Art: A Brief History helps students recognize and appreciate the central role that art and architecture have played in human history. Also available with MyArtsLab? MyArtsLab for the Art History Survey course extends learning online, engaging students and improving results. Media resources with assignments bring concepts to life, and offer students opportunities to practice applying what they've learned. And the Writing Space helps educators develop and assess concept mastery and critical thinking through writing, quickly and easily. Please note: this version of MyArtsLab does not include an eText. Art: A Brief Histor y, Sixth Edition is also available via REVEL (tm), an immersive learning experience designed for the way today's students read, think, and learn.

New Art History Lover

First off, I have to send out a compliment to the seller once again. She was quick and fantastic! I have hundreds of books. This one is a keeper. I appreciate how well-written this book is. It gives a brief history of art from the beginning of time. I had taken an Art History class, way back in 1974. It was nothing like the class I took this summer, fast, informative and furious.
