The Humanities Through the Arts is intended for introductory-level, interdisciplinary courses offered across the curriculum in the humanities, philosophy, art, English, music, and education departments. Arranged topically by art form--from painting, sculpture, photography, and architecture to literature, music, theater, film, and dance--this beautifully illustrated text helps students learn how to actively engage a work of art. The revised Sixth Edition retains the popular focus on the arts as an expression of cultural and personal values.
