Revision Changes

Several new drawing studies for major works of art provide students with a glimpse of the process of the artist. Examples include studies for Rubens' Raising of the Cross (Chapter 19), for Gericault's The Raft of the Medusa (Chapter 22), for Van Gogh's Self Portrait (Chapter 25), and for Picasso's Women of Avignon (Chapter 25).
New works throughout the text include those by such artists as Petrus Christus, Lavinia Fontana, Catherine van Hemessen, El Greco, Rembrandt, Jacques-Louis David, Labille-Guillard, Albert Bierstadt, Henri Matisse, Jean Arp, Elizabeth Murray, Kara Walker, Zaha Hadid, and Romare Bearden.
New and expanded coverage throughout the text provides additional information on such topics as minimalism by Sol Lewitt (Chapter 30); prehistory (Chapter 3), including the Sleeping Lady from Malta; and Egypt (Chapter 5), including the tomb of Nefertari.
Additional images of sculptures featured in the text allow students to view three-dimensional works of art from various vantage points as they would if they experienced these works in person.
Enhanced architectural plans and diagrams feature improved labels and color leaders linking labels to what they represent.
A refined boxed program offers students additional background and excerpts from mythology, religion, literature, and politics without disrupting the flow of the text. New titles categorize the boxes under such headings as "Media," "Technique," "Biography," and "Literature," making the material in each more immediately identifiable and understandable.
Streamlined end-of-chapter timelines situate works of art more immediately and clearly within time and place.
An updated Online Learning Center offers a wealth of additional teaching and learning resources, including student quizzes, book-specific activities for MyArtStudio, an expanded Instructor Manual, new PowerPoint lecture highlights, an updated Test Bank.
Connect Image Bank provides instructors with a way to easily browse and search high-resolution images within the text and download them for use in classroom presentations. Contact your McGraw-Hill representative for details.
