Experiencing Art Around Us

by Thomas Buser

This introductory art appreciation text covers the personal and cultural functions of art, the visual elements, the various art media and a concise chronological history of world art. The multi-cultural approach includes many works from women and minority artists. Students learn to appreciate and critique traditional art forms, as well as the art of crafts, visual design of urban and suburban environments, commercial product design, advertising, and popular culture as it can be found in the world and their own community.
