EXPLORING ART gives students an appreciation for artworks and art styles across time and across the globe.
EXPLORING ART's engaging global and thematic approach allows for full integration of non-Western traditions throughout the book, giving students an appreciation for artworks and art styles across time and around the world.
The core identity of the book as an art appreciation text is fully developed, but in many places throughout the book, that art content is integrated with the broader visual culture.
Chapters in Part I present art foundations to equip students with the necessary vocabulary and knowledge to fully engage with the thematic coverage in Part II. Themes in Part II fall into four categories: survival and beyond, religion, the state, and self and society. These themes allow the authors to place art in a variety of contexts, which gives students a sense of the diversity of meanings possible in a single work. Part III shows how students can make art part of their everyday lives.
Helping reinforce important concepts, the popular "Connection" boxes found throughout the text cross-reference related works, artists, cultures, ideas, and themes.
