I am using the product to introduce secondary school pupils to complex theory and the simple language and illustrations allow them to discuss these ideas with a high level of insight.

Being a second year fine art student, I found this book contained everything I needed to know about the history of art. The information is written and presented accessibly and gave me a brief overview of art theory. Its a perfect book if like me you are studying art and need some basic knowledge of its background to give you a better understanding of terminologies. It's also a good starting point to draw upon specific terms you may need for particular essays

Good for beginners, very succinct and also easy to read and understand, coupled with a lot of illustrations, it gives a very interesting brief introduction to art theory. as a starting point only, or leisure reading. if you are looking for something serious or more academic, this is not the book you are looking for. try Story of Art by Gombrich for art history, or Art since 1900 (Foster et al) for modern art.

A great introduction
The whole world of art theory is a difficult one to get into, as knowing where to start is quite difficult, so this book is exactly what you need. Read more
