This book was remarkably thorough...I've no idea how many times I've cited it for humanities research papers...

[Michidmaa Bayar]

Such a wonderful content, full of art pedagogy. For this book, It is better to use in the field of art education.

[Eric Holman]

3 stars because it’s a text book and how to you rate a text book?

Fine Arts textbook. It was okay. The authors bias and worldview definitely showed through. Not to mention I disagreed with them a little each chapter. So glad I'm done with this thick book.
