If Jantzen's view of art history seems lifeless and distant, Henry Sayre has something to say to you. It's the best survey I've seen in terms of making art accessible and demonstrating a continuing tradition. The CD-ROM is an excellent bonus, especially for readers who have never seen an artist at work. Ever wonder how a print is made? There's a demonstration.

This review is from: A World of Art (Revised 4th Edition) (Paperback)
Excellent overview of art history, major movements, and various media. Both the western and global development of art are included.
The accompanying cd has artwork "flash cards" as well as video clips illustrating how various media are used. This book was the required text for my university course, but I will also be using it with my children as a homeschool resource. Some discernment and parental input will be required using it with younger children.

This review is from: A World of Art (Revised 4th Edition) (Paperback)
Until I got this book for Fine art appreciation, I didnt think much about art. Now I cant hardly put it down, which is good considering that I have to read the whole thing for class. I cant think of a better way to present the material.
