Title: Boring Text About "Aesthetics"
Review: It should be noted that I had to purchase this book (along with one other) for a class I took a few years ago that was the ICAP (Keystone) equivalent for my degree (respectively, illustration). Thankfully, instead of purchasing this from the bookstore on campus (at an outrageous price), I was able to find a copy via Amazon that was much less expensive.Yes, I was required by the guidelines of the class to read this and while it was more interesting than the other text, it was still a far cry from being entertaining or 'good'. Again, I realize that this is a textbook of sorts that many art classes utilize, but that is no excuse for it to be written in such a boring format and make art and the world of aesthetics seem 'boring' to most.I personally would say not to buy this unless you are really dedicated to wanting to learn about aesthetics or because you have to.
