Overview
Packed with hundreds of examples of classic and contemporary art, FOUNDATIONS OF ART AND DESIGN, 2E delivers a comprehensive guide to basic design that provides the ideal foundation to design principles. Appealing to readers at every ability level, the text's logical and structured organization moves from micro to macro topics, enabling students to build on ideas and concepts of design and better understand the material. A running glossary defines key terms in the margins of the text, while two Visual Glossaries at the end of the book focus on styles and mediums. New "Theory and Practice" boxes help students more deeply analyze artwork, and "Artists on Art" boxes offer insight from professional artists. Providing a wealth of online resources as well as an eBook, the new Art CourseMate brings course concepts to life with interactive learning, study, and test-prep tools. FOUNDATIONS OF ART AND DESIGN, 2E is flexible and visual enough to suit any design course and every design student.

- "Theory and Practice" boxes help students more deeply analyze pieces of art by understanding the subject matter, elements, symbolism, and social and cultural environment in which the work was created.

- Insightful "Compare and Contrast" boxes display two or more works side by side so students can learn to see stylistic and technical similarities and differences and to draw perceptive conclusions about various works of art.
- Providing a wealth of online resources as well as an eBook, Art CourseMate brings course concepts to life with interactive learning, study tools, and exam preparation tools that support the printed textbook. Icons appear throughout the text to make it easier for students to know when to refer to specific modules for additional practice.
