About this product

Product Information

For courses in Art Appreciation, Art courses for non-majors, and one-semester Introduction to Art classes.From the First Edition in 1972, ARTFORMS has been as visually exciting as the individual works of art that are reproduced in it. ARTFORMS grew out of a desire to introduce art through an engaging visual experience. It is written and designed to help readers build an informed foundation for individual understanding and enjoyment of art. By introducing art theory, practice, and history in a single volume, this book aims to draw students into a new or expanded awareness of the visual arts. The goal is to engage readers in the process of realizing their own innate creativity. In the new, Eighth Edition, the title has been modified to Prebles' ARTFORMS, acknowledging the pioneering contribution of the original authors, Duane and Sarah Preble, to the study of art. Their vision and spirit have touched hundreds of thousands of students who have studied ARTFORMS.

Well l never received my package due to the postal service. They shipped the package the same day I ordered. As soon as I let them know of the problem They issued a refund no questions as. They faced the problem very professional. That's why I'm submitting a 5 Star. You not only shine for your good work. You can also shine by when there is a problem facing it and doing the right thing. I would order again if they have what I need.

    Artforms by Patrick Frank (05)

    Great examples and easy to understand. Art concepts, theory, elements are all well explained. I would recommend this book as an introduction to the basics of Art Appreciation.
