Analyze, Understand, Appreciate
Living with Art provides the tools to help students think critically about the visual arts. Using a wealth of examples, the first half of the text examines the nature, vocabulary, and elements of art, offering a foundation for students to learn to analyze art effectively. The latter half sets out a brief but comprehensive history of art, leading students to understand art within the context of its time and place of origin. High quality images from a wide range of periods and cultures bring the art to life, and topical essays throughout the text foster critical thinking skills.
Taken together, all of these elements help students to better appreciate art as a reflection of the human experience and to realize that living with art is living with ourselves.

This is a pretty interesting book as far as textbooks go. However, if you're considering buying this book, be aware that the 8th and 7th versions are nearly identical to this one- and they probably cost a good $100 less. The only real difference is the pictures inside- some of them seem to change depending on the edition. A resourceful student could easily google a famous work of art that the teacher mentions in class- if a piece is famous enough to be mentioned in a textbook, someone's probably posted a picture of it on the Internet. Don't waste your money on a new book if you can easily score an older one.

Having taught art appreciation well over thirty times, I have come to rely on this text. Looking at the competition, it is the only book that covers everything. Living with Art is digestible for my students, witty enough for the seasoned
professional in me and makes it easy to cover aesthetics, design principles, media and a brief
history of art... all in one term. My favorite component is Connect Art. With Connect, I am able to present even more information via this online component, as well as, track my students' progress between exams. Because of the tailored online Connect exercises, my exam scores and final averages have improved as much as 15 per cent. I highly recommend this text.
