A history , in the most compressive seance, of the visual arts produced in what is now the continental United States , Mr. Mendelowiz' book surveys not only American architecture , painting , and sculpture but, in addition, those other arts-printmaking , ceramics , glass , silversmiths, industrial and decorative design, photography -in which distinctive craftsmanship and mastery of technology have given American culture a vigorous heritage and a uniquely rich dimension . In the spirit of the breadth and inclusiveness , the author commences his narrative with an analysis of the arts of American Indian, for their intrinsic merit , as well as for their contribution to the formal values and expectations of modern styles . In the colonial and early republican periods , the emphasis is placed on furniture , silver , and other household wares , for the American decorative arts of  this time were truly splendid productions , while the "fine" arts , though closely and sympathetically examined by the author , had yet to receive the full realization of the largest single section n the book , on American art in the twentieth century , a period of myriad styles in which the wide -ranging experimentation with forms and materials has reduced the distintion between the fine and the applied arts to a very thin and tenuous line./THIS IS A GIFT QUALITY BOOK AND MAKE A WONDERFUL GIFT/THE BOOK COMES WITH A PLASTIC MYLAR COVER TO PROTECT THE BOOK FOR YEARS TO COME/FAST SHIPPING TO ALL CORNERS OF THE WORLD/OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE/

The best-seller for the introduction to drawing course, A GUIDE TO DRAWING provides an excellent balance of classic, historical examples from around the world coupled with the most current images that reflect the state of the art of drawing. The text provides a systematic and sound course of instruction, beginning with an introduction to the nature of drawing and an invitation into the initial experiences of drawing, both underscored by an emphasis on the importance of learning how to see. The text moves through chapters on art elements, drawing media and subject matter, concluding with more advanced topics that can be used in subsequent courses, encouraging readers to keep this text as a reference throughout their studies and into their careers as artists. The Eighth edition of A GUIDE TO DRAWING covers the most relevant drawing topics being taught today, with more emphasis on fundamentally expressive powers of drawing as a contemporary visual language, and more emphasis on coordinating sight and thought processes while drawing.
