Description

For one semester courses in Art Appreciation.

This text provides students with a wonderfully written introduction to art that emphasizes critical thinking and visual literacy.

Henry M. Sayre wrote A World of Art because he saw a need for an art appreciation text that was more inclusive of women artists, ethnic minorities and art from around the globe. The author provides students with an understanding of formal elements, artistic mediums, and art history.

For one semester courses in Art Appreciation.

A World of Art provides students with an introduction to art that emphasizes critical thinking and visual literacy.

Why A World of Art? Henry Sayre wrote the first edition of World of Art because he wanted to use a text in his own art appreciation course that truly represented all artists, not just the Western canon found at that time in the other texts. He also wanted a text that fostered critical thinking through looking at, talking about, and questioning works of art for his students. We are proud to present the new sixth edition of World of Art, which further strengthens these two key aspects of the text while presenting hot topics like video and time-based media.
