5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, July 16, 2006
This review is from: Interpreting Art : Reflecting, Wondering, and Responding (Paperback)
this book gives you a great detail on how to interpret art. I learned so much from it, and now, I feel like I can relate to all types of art. I never got tired of reading it, and I even loved the pictures being detailed and interpreted in there.
