Editorials

From the Publisher

"I was thrilled to read the text! I believe art is best appreciated by students if it is thematic because that is how the students have been exposed to art so far in their lives. I love the thematic approach. I think non-western arts and cultures are well represented throughout the textbook. Women and gender issue are addressed directly and clearly, in culturally appropriate manner." — Aditi Samarth, Richland College

"The most difficult aspect of Art Apprec is placement of concepts into history. What I love about this book is the format of grouping art into subjects: 'food, shelter, etc.,' which immediately makes the topics more digestible and less intimidating." — Lynn Peters, Moraine Valley Community College
