How to view art as an artist does.

Every field has its own set of terms, concepts and tools that help the profession make sense and clarity of their discipline. This book gives the mile high view of how to approach art from the point of view of someone actually looking at art as more than a casual admirer.

practical and concise

practical and concise- it's the ideal introduction to studying art history (particularly studying and preparing papers for university art history classes). I took an upper-level art history class my freshman year of college, and this book really made it possible for me to thrive in that class, despite my absolute lack of advanced art/advanced university studies.
