Overview
Description
For two semester/quarter courses on Introduction to the Humanities or Cultural Studies.
Now in full color, Arts and Culture provides an introduction to global civilizations and their artistic achievements, history, and cultures. The authors consider two important questions: What makes a work a masterpiece of its type? And what qualities of a work enable it to be appreciated over time? Critical thinking is also highlighted throughout the text with 4 different box features that ask students to explore connections across the humanities and different cultures. These boxes are entitled Connections, Cross Currents, Then & Now, and Cultural Impact boxes. Open the new fourth edition of Arts and Culture and open a world of discovery.
New to This Edition
In studying the humanities, this text focuses its attention on works of art that reflect and embody the central values and beliefs of particular cultures and specific historical moments.
NEW- MyHumanitiesKit is now available with Arts and Culture. MyHumanitiesKit provides an accessible way for students to experience and interact with The Arts. The Closer Look feature is the cornerstone of the program–bringing important works of art to the student and acting as their personal docent!

NEW- Four Color Design- The tenth edition is the first completely four color edition, eliminating the color inserts from previous editions.
