Exploring Art: A Global, Thematic Approach

"Exploring Art: A Global, Thematic Approach," 6th Edition, gives students a deep appreciation for artworks and art styles across time and the world by connecting art with the big ideas that they care about today. Art is shown as a response to human needs and desires from ancient times to now through its representation of religion, power and politics, sexuality, mind and body, mortality, nature, entertainment and more. These themes make art compelling, urgent and relatable. With a rich selection of works from all over the world, it is truly global in scope -- balancing historical with contemporary and the canonical with new, fresh pieces.
