Product Description
Designed for courses in Creativity, Two-, Three- or Four-Dimensional Design, Launching the Imagination offers a comprehensive framework on which students, teachers, and administrators can build. The approach in this third edition is refined, distilled, and updated, using over 600 examples drawn from traditional and contemporary sources. Interviews of artists and designers, known as Profiles, introduce students to working processes, career choices, and criteria for excellence from a remarkable group of masters.
Launching the Imagination is available in a comprehensive volume treating 2D design, Creativity and Problem-solving, 3D design, and time-based (4D) design; or in split volumes containing either 2D or 3D design, plus the material on Creativity and Problem-solving.
This edition of Launching the Imagination moves the content of the Core Concepts in Art CD-ROM to the Online Learning Center. With free access, this website, which engages students interactively with the elements and principles of art through numerous interactive exercises, has been re-organized and expanded.

 Great and Easy to Read October 1, 2009
Lacey (Portland, OR USA)

This is a really great textbook filled with a ton of pictures of many artists. It's easy to read and almost doesn't feel like a textbook at times. Very useful as a resource to look up terms that the internet sometimes is a stretch to find the "art" definition of.
Very Readable Textbook February 12, 2009

it is not always easy reading textbooks, even those written by professors who are excellent lecturers. This book is a distinct exception. This book provides good foundation information for both two-dimension and three-dimension design.

 This book is a UK version. January 13, 2009

This is a version published in the UK. I never received the book. Because its shipped from there, I ordered it, waited 4 weeks and it never shipped (due to delays). I needed it by the end of the 5th week for a class, so I had to cancel the order and buy the US Version (isbn: 0073526487.)
As far as I can tell from online reviews, this book is not different. However, don't order it if you need it quickly. Too bad it takes so long to arrive, since its 30% cheaper than the US version.
