1.The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain: A Course in Enhancing Creativity and Artistic Confidence by: Betty Edwards September 06, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $29.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $29.35 You Save: $0.60 ( 2%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: $17.59
Okay, first let me say that this is an okay book only for those who are not an artist or just starting. I had this as a text book(drawing course for graphic design major in a small tech/bus school), and being I've been drawing since I could hold a writing utensil I found it slightly insulting, especially being in a graphic design course. It's really only for the untalented, along yes, I did get something from it the grids...but that's it.

Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $14.63
This is a must have for any art major that is currently or will be going into any college Art Program -- especially the analysis of Art via Art History classes. The directives are clear and easy to follow. Barnet breaks down all facets of writing -- from Reviews of exhibits to critical analysis of art work. This book can also be helpful in other classes as it guides the reader into writing more concisely and in a more direct manner. This is an excellent addition to any College Student and/or Faculty library.

I bought this for my daughter's summer reading for Art History class - a 200+ page brief summary of the history of art. I paged through it to see what she was getting into, and I was very impressed with the breadth and interesting facts contained within. It's a great outline of a huge topic, that gives the reader a framework into which subsequent knowledge can be organized.

9.A World of Art/Artnotes: A Study Guide and Lecture Companion by: Henry M. Sayre 2004-03
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: $107.53 Prices subject to change. Used Price: $25.75
A World of Art by Henry Sayre is meant to give individuals their first exposure to art and art history. This is the textbook I use for my Art 101 course and it fills that purpose exceptionally well. The book is broken down into 5 segments with a total of 22 chapters. Part One: The Visual World - is about understanding the art one comes across. Chapters in this section discuss themes found in art, the value we give to art, and developing a literacy in order to explain the art around us. Personally, I feel that the subject matter in this section is pretty deep for someone new to the field and suggest beginning with Part Two. Part Two: The Formal Elements And Their Design - deals with the basic elements of art, particularly to how they relate to the artist. Chapters in this section ... Read More
