Reviews
I had to order this book for my Art History 1 course. I was a bit nervous to take it because it seemed like it was going to be overwhelming and boring. But, this book is packed with all sorts of information and colorful images which makes it so much easier to read! The content is interesting. I highly recommend this book to anyone that is scared to take Art History 1 or anyone that loves early Art History.
