A World of Art fosters the critical thinking and visual literacy skills students need to understand art from around the globe. Noted author and educator Henry Sayre teaches students how to ask the right questions about the visual world that surrounds us, and to then respond meaningfully to the complexity of that world. New to the eighth edition, seven thematic chapters help students better identify and understand major themes of art–such as “the cycle of life” and “the body, gender, and identity”–that transcend different eras and regions.The Visual World: Understanding the Art You See
