Description
Thematic and Chronological Approach to the Humanities
Reality Through the Arts is provides a unique organization, which makes it an excellent alternative to the standard chronological organization found in most other humanities text. Part I, “The Media of the Arts,” offers independent chapters on two dimensional art (drawing, painting, printmaking, and photography), sculpture, architecture, music, theatre, cinema, dance and literature. Part II, “The Styles of the Arts,” is a chronological history of the arts of Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, organized by artistic discipline and focusing on styles rather than encyclopedic detail.
This edition continues its uniquely flexible organization, allowing readers to cover individual art forms and historical context. In addition, the seventh edition is now available with MySearchLab, an online program that includes an interactive etext, assessment, and help with research and writing.
