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 a comprehensive survey of art theory, history, and practice foster an informed and personal appreciation of the visual arts in non-specialist students? Patrick Frank, building on the long-standing legacy of the original text, provides a structured framework that integrates visual analysis with historical context. The book utilizes a multi-dimensional approach, combining traditional academic history with practical exercises to encourage students to engage directly with the creative process.
