About this product

Product Information

EXPLORING ART offers a thematic and global approach to teaching art appreciation. It balances Western and non-Western approaches to art, unlike competing books, which concentrate much more on Western art, artists, and historical styles. This global approach acknowledges the diverse backgrounds of today's art students, and explores the similarities that unite culture, as well as difference or distinctions. In doing so, EXPLORING ART ultimately reveals the universality of the human impulse to create art, as well as the persistence of basic themes.

This is the first art appreciation text for the postmodern world. The authors destroy the fallacy of a largely western canon and reveal the breadth, complexity, and beauty of art produced around the world. Likewise, they remove art from the walls and vitrines of the museum and go as far as a textbook can to put the objects back into their human contexts: in rituals, on bodies, in physical and social spaces., I found the book engaging and interesting. I firmly believe that today’s student should be able to read and understand clearly presented material and that material should introduce new and challenging concepts and this text lives up to this standard., "EXPLORING ART presents intelligent explanations of the purposes and functions of art and how meaning can be derived from them." "EXPLORING ART offers wonderful examples of themes and clearly explains the formal elements and principles as well as resources for learning more about art and using art in one's life." "EXPLORING ART contains a great range of information all while remaining exciting and well written with the audience in mind, allowing the reader to enjoy the content while stimulating critical thinking about it.", "EXPLORING ART presents intelligent explanations of the purposes and functions of art and how meaning can be derived from them." "EXPLORING ART offers wonderful examples of themes and clearly explains the formal elements and principles as well as resources for learning more about art and using art in one's life." "EXPLORING ART contains a great range of information all while remaining exciting and well written with the audience in mind, allowing the reader to enjoy the content while stimulating critic, Discovering the similarities and differences among the ways human being express visually their understanding of their basic political, religious, and social values offers students opportunities to broaden their awareness and appreciation of their own culture as well as the life experiences of other people and cultures throughout the world., I found the book engaging and interesting. I firmly believe that today's student should be able to read and understand clearly presented material and that material should introduce new and challenging concepts and this text lives up to this standard.

Views on Exploring Art w/ Infotrac by Schlesier/Lazzari
The product received was in excellant condition and just as described. I really didn't get to read much of the book as our instructor changed her mind about what resource we would be using for the class. The parts of the book I did read were very good and I think it would be a very valuable resource for someone who would be majoring in the field of visual art. I did not check out the Infotrac closely and could not adequately review that feature.

Product Review
Well my reasoning for buying this product or book, was for my daughter's art course. I can't really comment on the book, but my daughter can: What I really favored about this book was that it had a lot of pictures. Of course the text within the book is understandable in explaining aspects of art, but it was very helpful that there were an abundant amonut of artwork to reference to for an example. Personally, I feel that the book was very well written and it served its purpose as a textbook for my art course. There was not much of anything I didn't enjoy about the book, for it was well put together.

Realizing What Art Is
Exploring Art had a wide variety of information on art. The book focused on many different cultures and explains the reasoning behind the way each culture used art. I bought this book because it was required for my fine arts class.
