The Humanities through the Arts, 7/e

F. David Martin, American University
Lee A. Jacobus, University of Connecticut--Storrs

Feature Summary

Coverage of "art" vs. "art-like." A chapter is devoted to following the exploration of the arts, delving deeper into the question of "What Is Art?"
"Perception Keys" throughout every chapter engage students in the process of thinking critically and creatively about art. These keys pose a series of thought-provoking questions about students' responses to specific works of art presented in the book.
Individual, self-contained chapters on the major art forms (from painting to dance) offer the instructor flexibility in deciding whether to cover a few art forms in depth or survey all of them in a semester.
The text's simple theoretical foundation is that all of the arts are an integral part of living "the examined life."
Humanities Through the Arts can be used in the popular telecourse called "Humanities through the Arts" offered by Coastline Learning Systems (www.coastlearning.org; 1-800-547-4748).
Chapter bibliographies include listings of exciting Web resources.
