As an added bonus, each Books a la Carte Plus edition is accompanied by an access code to all of the resources found in one of our best-selling multimedia products. Best of all? Our Books a la Carte Plus titles cost less than a used textbook! 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 to students in a way that would make them want to participate in it, not just observe it.
This text investigates the fundamental elements and principles of art to provide a comprehensive foundation for students engaging with visual culture. Patrick L. Frank, a seasoned educator in the field, utilizes a structured pedagogical framework that balances historical context with formal analysis. The book serves as a primary resource for introductory art courses, synthesizing decades of academic development since the work's inception in 1972 to explain how art functions as a medium of human expression.
What You Will Find
This work is widely regarded as a standard, accessible introduction for non-majors and introductory art students. The framing suggests a highly structured, pedagogical approach designed to facilitate classroom learning through clear visual examples and foundational theory.
