Textbooks
I will refer to all of the major textbooks that approach the first part of the two-semester art history survey from a global perspective.
My course used Gardner’s Art through the Ages, 12th edition, but I will also consult the 13th edition, Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Global History (with ArtStudy Printed Access Card and Timeline) (Gardner’s Art Through the Ages), for any improvements.
I will also refer to Marilyn Stokstad’s Art History, Combined (3rd Edition) and Laura Schneider Adams’ Art across Time 3/e Hardcover
, as well as Hugh Honour and John Fleming’s The Visual Arts: A History (Combined) (7th Edition)
.
Just as I will critique my syllabus, I will also critique these surveys.
