Product Description
A more global, flexible way to teach art history
The History of Art: A Global View is the first major art history survey textbook -- written by a team of expert authors -- with a global narrative in mind. A chronological organization and “Seeing Connections” features help readers make cross-cultural comparisons, while brief, modular chapters (with on-page definitions) offer instructors unparalleled flexibility. You can assign more than one chapter per week for a fully global course, or skip and reorder chapters, for a more focused syllabus.
