Art Fundamentals

This book was exactly what the teacher wanted and it got to me in a timely manner!! Thank you so much.

Excellent Book

I had to get this book for my Design class in college. Great book. We didn't go through the whole book, but I kept the book after the class was over because there is some practical information for the art student. There is a bunch of information that i can use to apply to my own artwork, as well as a history of some past art works used as examples. The photos are all in color and there is many of them. This book is a great introduction, but it is a wealth of information. The reading is easy and doesn't bore me. I don't know about some people, but reading a text can be cumbersome, but not this book. I really do learn alot just from this book alone without a class.

Awesome

I'm a college student with no background in art, so when I found out I had to take Design I as a prerequisite to an introductory photography class, I was a little nervous. If I'd have seen this textbook ahead of time, I wouldn't have been. What's so phenomenal about this book is that, silly as it may sound, it has so many pictures. These pictures, mostly in color, are varied and make the point the author is trying to illustrate clearly and practically, all the while promoting a sense of aestheticism for a wide-ranging history of art. Bravo. I'm taking Design II.
