1) Product Description
Throughout the previous six editions, this text has earned a reputation for elegance and the highest standards of quality. Living with Art helps students develop an appreciation of art by offering a clear and comprehensive introduction to the visual arts from several perspectives: themes and purposes of art; the vocabulary of art; individual art media (painting, drawing, camera arts, sculpture, architecture, etc.); and the history of art. The book is rich with illustrations drawn from a wide range of artistic cultures and time periods.

Average Customer Rating: 4.0 out of 5

1) Great Textbook!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I just started my summer class a few weeks ago, and I definitely agree with the instructor that it's a truly great textbook! It's not as pricey as I initially thought it was going to be and it has a ton of art information. The CD and timeline are kind of useless, but I would still use them to study for exams or quizzes. If you want to learn about art in SOOO many ways, get this book because it's a treat!

2) chosen paintings shown several times   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
I got this book for a class, and besides just using it for tests, I haven't opened it much. Most of the paintings in the first few chapters are also the same paintings in the last few chapters, though, and I thought it would have more variations. However, the info in each section is concise, easy to read, and the whole book is a great introduction for the beginner to the study of art.

3) Great Book for the begining Artist or Art lover   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I found it to be detailed enough to learn about art without boring me. It was actually for a class I'm taking by found I read more chapters than required because it was a great overview on many diffent subjects from art to architecture

4) Great Book   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Received the book in time and actually it was very fast too. Product is great. A Million thanks.

5) okay   [Rating: 3 out of 5]
the book is great but the service shipping to me was horrible. it follows my introduction to art history class very well.
