Prebles' Artforms (11th Edition) Details
Review “It is a very rich book. The author obviously has much knowledge and is impassioned about his text.” -Marsha Anderson, North Lake College “[The 'We Form Art' and 'Art Forms Us' boxes] are such a critical tool in trying to illustrate the relevance of art to those that are not art majors.” -Paul Benero, Tarrant County College “Ideas like catching Part openers, the brief timeline and the learning objectives help get the reader oriented toward deciphering what they are reading about. Including an iconic work along with more obscure ones helps students start in a comfort zone from which they will branch out.” -Joan Bontempo, Hagerstwon Community College “The content plan for the 11th edition truly takes another look at this excellent textbook with the goal of responding even more effectively to the needs of 21st century teachers and learners.” -Timothy Jones, Oklahoma City Community College/ University of Oklahoma Read more About the Author Patrick Frank has taught in many higher education environments, from rural community colleges to private research universities.

Reviews
I've read the first 5 chapters and honestly feel that I've learned nothing. I would say 90% of the bold words I've come across are common sense, along with the ideas. If you're like me you could probably pass your course without having to purchase or rent this book, and I'm an econ major. I just stopped reading to write this review after 6 pages were spent to describe colors. I wonder whats in store for the next 25 chapters!?!?!
