Product Description
Review
'A lucid account of the importance of art history as an academic discipline, the lessons in looking that it can equip the attentive student with and a practical guide for students wishing to improve their art historical skills in both visual and verbal analysis. Extremely handy for students new to the discipline.' Dr. Dorothy C. Rowe, University of Bristol
Product Description
Enables students to get the most from their art history course. In a clear and engaging style, Anne DAlleva empowers readers to approach their coursework with confidence and energy. The book introduces two basic art historical methods - formal analysis and contextual analysis - revealing how to use these methods in writing papers and in class discussion. The common strengths and weaknesses of an art history essay are highlighted by using real examples of written work, and at each stage of the writing process DAlleva offers valuable advice on developing an argument convincingly. Providing a fascinating view of the study of art history within its historical context, this book will be particularly helpful for those considering a career in this rewarding discipline.

This is a lovely clear explaination and introduction to the process of writing art history, including essay writing, critical approaches and searching literature.
I found it very helpful and think it would be a good starting point as an art history course study guide.

Very good guide
A good guide to writing art history essays for first degree university students... But had to give it 4 stars because it's not as good for postgraduates.

This book is a life saver if you are having a hard time in putting your ideas of an image on paper. It is not boring to read as many "how to" books are. Read more
