Nice layout, use of image and type. The writer uses a clear style and expresses a lot of concepts in a manner digestible to most people I would have thought.
Good for the learner/intermediate student.

Design and History
17 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
Popular with the Art Classes on college campuses nationwide, this book meets all expectations for an introductory art class. Covering Black and White design and history, the book covers styles and jargon used to describe the popular works. The Colour section does equally well, with vivid pictures of art work. Each era is discussed and the fundamentals of colour are provided. This is the book to get to get your feet wet in the world of Art.

Awesome
15 Jun 2000
Format:Paperback
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.

Informative, clear, and gripping
10 Aug 2005
Format:Paperback
I bought this book for my "Art Appreciation" class in my second year of Graphic Design school, and I came out with appreciation for art and this book.
The 350 something pages are divided into chapters such as form, colour, texture and so on.. All of them are easy to read and extremely informative, best of all, it's full of pictures! Each page has almost a minimum of two images, making understanding and grasping the content extremely easy and enjoyable.
I loved the chapter Content & Style, as it delved into the art schools, explaining each school, the artists, the paintings etc
The book also has a cd that has info on colour, texture, line.. ( Art Fundementals!) with an interactive part that's fun to do, and was required by our Professor as homework.
I recommend this book to anyone, it's very important for studying art, but will also be a valuable book in any library or home.
