Features: Art: Being Human aims to introduce the joy that the humanities bring to students with little or no background in the humanities. Our goal has always been to share our passion for the humanities as experiences of the mind and emotion. Through learning thoughtful reflection and gaining an understanding of creative art, students will better understand themselves. Art: Being Human narrates the outstanding achievements of the humanities throughout history. Although our approach is thematic rather than chronological, the historical context still plays a vital role in understanding specific works and will continue to do so. We are grateful for the accomplishments of the past because we share a very close kinship with those who lived before us; their words and actions can help us understand today. We will continue to discover new reasons to experience joy and find inspiration in the sensitivity reflected in works from the past, present, Western, non-Western, male, female, and diverse racial and cultural traditions.
Features of this edition: This edition has reached its 7th printing because the humanities are alive and will always be alive. As part of our daily lives, they must grow and change. Based on this understanding, this edition includes several important revisions that are essential to our unique way of engaging with the humanities.
