title: Understanding Art, Revised Printing Ninth (9th) Edition (with ArtExperience Online Printed Access Card)
author: -Lois Fichner-Rathus-
description: Are your students as passionate about art as you are? If you're like most instructors who answered a resounding "no," this Ninth Edition of Understanding Art is the perfect means to help you jump start students' awareness and appreciation. With exceptionally balanced coverage of masterworks from the past and today's edgy new works, Understanding Art connects with students--capturing their attention with exciting images of fashion design from the runways of Paris, logos created by today's top advertising designers, and many of the cultural icons students are familiar with in their daily lives. And with the book's innovative, new "scale" feature, which is not available in any other art appreciation textbook, Lois Fichner-Rathus helps students easily visualize the true size of each work shown.
