I don't even know where to begin, but this book is one of the best art books I have read. The details/info in this book greatly helped me with my online class. Very happy that I purchased it instead of renting.

A better appreciation and understanding of art...
Reviewed in the United States on 7 October 2014Verified Purchase
Great book, well written and easy to understand. I had to have this for an Art History class I was taking and it is one of the better books I have had to read my whole time in school. Very informative, great pictures and easy to follow. I have a much better understanding and appreciation of art from using this book. The online portion with quizzes, flashcards, etc. made this a more pleasant experience. I also like the PowerPoint presentations that went along with the book.
