Hallmark Features

 

How do you place the study of art history in context for your students?

  • Art History provides the essential context of the history of art — the text treats the arts and architecture within the essential context of history, geography, sociology,  politics,  religion and the other arts of the time.  This enables students to see the origination of many major works.

How do you teach your students the language and technical aspects of art?

 

Boxed Essays in text:

  • Elements of Architecture boxes - help explain basic architectural forms and terminology, which can often be challenging subject matter for students.
  • Technique boxes allow students to explore how artworks were created, from prehistoric cave paintings to Renaissance frescoes to photographs.
  • The Object Speaks feature–Appears in each chapter to offer students an in-depth look at a single work of art.
  • Defining Art  — ways in which art has been defined, categorized and evaluated
  • Science and Technology  - how aspects of these subjects affect/inform art and art history
  • Religion and Mythology — info / concepts important to understanding religious art of certain cultures and time periods
  • Art and Its Context - brings an added layer of understanding about key contextual issues

How important is the text illustration program in the classroom?

Do you look for an inclusive text?

  • NEW- Enhanced image program — every image that could be obtained in color has been acquired.  The line art program has been enhanced with color for better readability.
  • NEW- Architectural cutaway drawings and reconstructions by Dorling Kindersley - help students to better understand this challeging subject.  The line drawings show how the parts of buildings work together in a 3-dimensional representation and new reconstructions have been added, all in full color, to bring ruins to life and show students what the site originally looked like.

 

Do you use 35 mm slides or digital images in class?  How much time do you spend preparing images for your lecture?

    • For courses in the History of Art.

     

    Completely rewritten and reorganized, this new edition weaves together the most recent scholarship, the most current thinking in art history, and the most innovative digital art library. Experience the new Janson and re-experience the history of art.

     

    Long established as the classic and seminal introduction to art of the Western world, the Seventh Edition of Janson's History of Art is groundbreaking. When Harry Abrams first published the History of Art in 1962, John F. Kennedy occupied the White House, and Andy Warhol was an emerging artist.  Janson offered his readers a strong focus on Western art, an important consideration of technique and style, and a clear point of view. The History of Art, said Janson, was not just a stringing together of historically significant objects, but the writing of a story about their interconnections, a history of styles and of stylistic change. Janson’s text focused on the visual and technical characteristics of the objects he discussed, often in extraordinarily eloquent language. Janson’s History of Art helped to establish the canon of art history for many generations of scholars.

     

    The new Seventh Edition introduces the authorship of six distinguished specialists narrating the history of art for today’s students.  The contribution of multiple authors allows an expert's understanding to permeate each and every part of the text with a currency in art, historical thinking and an enhanced discussion of context. The result is a complete rewriting and a weaving together of expert knowledge into a meaningful and powerful presentation of Western art.
