For one semester/quarter courses on Introduction to the Humanities or Cultural Studies.
Now in full color, Arts and Culture provides
an introduction to global civilizations and their artistic
achievements, history, and cultures. The authors consider two important
questions: What makes a work a masterpiece of its type? And what
qualities of a work enable it to be appreciated over time? Critical
thinking is also highlighted throughout the text with 4 different box
features that ask students to explore connections across the humanities
and different cultures. These boxes are entitled Connections, Cross Currents, Then & Now, and Cultural Impact boxes. Open the new fourth edition of Arts and Culture and open a world of discovery.
