The original text that set the standard for introduction to art courses across the country, Art Fundamentals has guided generations of students through the essential elements of art as well as the rich and varied history of their uses.

The tenth edition expands the wealth of related study materials available to students and faculty by offering a student CD-ROM, Core Concepts in Art, packaged free with every new copy of the text, as well as a comprehensive text-specific Online Learning Center; together these materials reinforce the principles and elements of design with practical exercises, self-guided tutorials, interactive examples, and suggested student projects.
