Learn Art History Easily and Enjoyably

Taking on Tansey's and Kleiner's Gardner's Art through the Ages can be a formidable task, for it goes into great depth about art from the prehistoric caves at Altamira and Lascaux through more modern work from artists like Pollock. This Study Guide helps the student learn art history and cut through the seemingly unimportant words. In answering the review questions, the reader actually is exposed to the prose of the text and does not realize that he is reading the book somewhat comprehensively. Adding to the success of this study guide are the discussion questions that provoke thought in the student and help train him to evaulate the art critically. I am a high school student in Advanced Placement Art History and hated studying. Now, with the study guide, art is a pleasure; I am even considering it as my major in college!
