Themes and Foundations of Art

"Themes and Foundations of Art" sets the standard for introductory Art education.

A unique blend of artwork from around the world, classroom-tested activities, and thematic teaching units will motivate and inspire your students as they engage in aesthetic inquiry, art criticism activities, art history experiences, and studio production.

The themes of Nature and Art, Cities and Art, and The Human Image and Art will help students see connections between different artists, styles, time periods, cultures, and art media and methods. In addition to these three broad themes, other themes are explored throughout the text and supplementary materials.
