 A good A level textbook January 28, 2005

This book covers all the essential core syllabus that you need to cover for AQA A Level History of Art, and essentially it is a textbook for the course. As an A level textbook, it does it's job. It is written for 16-18 year old school kids in Britain who are taking art history and this book should not be considered for any further study or in-depth critique about art.You will not be happy with this book if you are a university student, and if you want a more detailed study of Art History, buy "The Story of Art" by Gombrich, a text which every self-respecting art history student will own. For a beginners introduction, this is quite good and comprehensive (in a very superficial way), and if you want to add to an interest in art history, even as a novice, this is rather light as a lot of it is rather obvious and self-explanatory. A level students: Buy it today. Others: stay away.

This is a book for those beginning to study History of Art, but it could have more clues to practices and methods. Anyway it can only be good for someone beginning from scratch and it focus mostly on UK.
