By using more color fine art reproductions than any other text to illustrate the concepts of design, Ocvirk introduces students to both the fundamental elements of art and to the rich and varied history of their uses. Art Fundamentals offers a wealth of full color and black-and-white fine art reproductions and a rich Instructor's Resource Manual but still remains the best value on the market. This new edition exposes students to a more diverse range of aesthetic and cultural perspectives and brings in more examples from the contemporary scene.
