Book Description

“The History of Art: A Global View, Volume 1: Prehistory to 1500,” authored by Jean Robertson and Deborah S. Hutton, revolutionizes the teaching of art history by offering a fresh, global perspective on the subject. This groundbreaking textbook is a testament to the authors' commitment to providing a comprehensive and flexible resource for both students and instructors.

At its core, “The History of Art: A Global View” stands out for its global narrative. Unlike traditional art history textbooks that focus primarily on Western art, this book takes a more inclusive approach, encompassing artistic traditions from around the world. It offers a chronological organization that helps readers trace the evolution of art through time while “Seeing Connections” features facilitate cross-cultural comparisons, fostering a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness of global art history.

One of the textbook's unique strengths is its modular structure. The authors have designed the book with brief, stand-alone chapters that include on-page definitions. This modular approach provides instructors with unparalleled flexibility when designing their art history courses. They can choose to assign more than one chapter per week for a comprehensive global exploration or selectively skip and reorder chapters to create a syllabus tailored to specific topics or periods.

Instructors and students alike will appreciate the accessible and engaging writing style of the authors, which makes the complex world of art history more approachable. The inclusion of on-page definitions ensures that readers can easily grasp key terms and concepts, enhancing their comprehension of the material.

“The History of Art: A Global View” is not just a textbook; it is a dynamic tool that empowers instructors to create customized courses that align with their teaching goals and students to embark on a global journey through the rich tapestry of art history. This textbook heralds a new era in the study of art, one that recognizes the global interconnectedness of artistic expression and offers a flexible and engaging approach to art history education. It is an essential resource for anyone seeking a more inclusive and adaptable way to explore the world's artistic heritage.
