 Exceptional at all levels. February 8, 2010

I've used this book for nearly a decade in its various editions, particularly for teaching freshman level courses in art and design. Regardless of the discipline, or even the level, the concepts and explanations are absolutely invaluable for translating what so many people (even veterans) assume is subjective quality into objective rational analysis of why a creative visual work may succeed or fail. Having absorbed the material in this book, my verbal critiques of student work have gained clarity and effectiveness. The same is true for the students who study the material - they too become excellent critics.
Highly recommended for teachers and students of all levels in art and design (advanced high school, and all college levels).

I am guessing this is a good book as my son got a 4.0 in class, But better than that was the sellers response to my need. We purchased this book at the last minute and seller got this out to me immediately. Thank you
Good for everyone February 24, 2010

I had this book for a art class that I took. I am not at all art savvy and this book showed me a lot of things. I would recommend it.
Good book, but flimsly and pricey. September 4, 2010

Good book for college, content is superb. But for the price I paid, I expected a heavy duty volume. What did I get? A flimsy paperback that very well could have been made out of newsprint. Hah, oh college textbooks...
