In this text for a first undergraduate course, two foundation chapters look at the power of art to bring faith to life, to change beliefs, and to shock, and review the primary elements of art, such as space, line, texture, and color. A substantial section on the artist's materials and tools covers various media, including time and digital arts, architecture, and decorative arts. The rest of the book examines the art of different eras, from the ancient empires to the present. This second edition contains a new chapter on principles of design, and a separate chapter on new media. Global coverage has been expanded with more material on non-Western artists, particularly those from Asia and the Americas, along with added cultural and historical context. The text is lavishly illustrated in color. An online component of the text offers flashcards of art and maps, interactive modules on visual elements and principles of design, video footage of student art in the making, and downloadable audio summaries of chapter concepts, plus essay questions, quizzes, and Internet exercises. Richard Lewis is affiliated with Marist College. Susan Lewis is affiliated with the State University of New York-New Paltz. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
