The pages come with a CD of Discovering Art.For courses in Art Appreciation, Art courses for non-majors, and one-semester Introduction to Art classes.From the First Edition in 1972, ARTFORMS has been as visually exciting as the individual works of art that are reproduced in it. ARTFORMS grew out of a desire to introduce art through an engaging visual experience. It is written and designed to help readers build an informed foundation for individual understanding and enjoyment of art. By introducing art theory, practice, and history in a single volume, this book aims to draw students into a new or expanded awareness of the visual arts. The goal is to engage readers in the process of realizing their own innate creativity.
How can an introductory text effectively bridge the gap between art theory, historical context, and the personal creative process for non-majors? Patrick Frank, building upon the foundational work established in 1972, provides a comprehensive framework that integrates visual analysis with historical development. The text utilizes a structured pedagogical approach to guide students through the complexities of artistic expression, aiming to foster an informed appreciation of visual culture. By synthesizing technical practice and historical narrative, the book serves as a primary resource for academic art appreciation courses.
