A Short Guide to Writing About Art, 9th Edition (The Short Guide Series)

This is a must have for any art major that is currently or will be going into any college Art Program -- especially the analysis of Art via Art History classes. The directives are clear and easy to follow. Barnet breaks down all facets of writing -- from Reviews of exhibits to critical analysis of art work. This book can also be helpful in other classes as it guides the reader into writing more concisely and in a more direct manner. This is an excellent addition to any College Student and/or Faculty library.

This book was recommended by my professor for an Art History course. It is a wonderful book with excellent guidance and examples for any writing. As a science major I was unfamiliar with humanities/history particulars, when it comes to writing. This book was destined for a dusty spot on the book shelf once I finished the course. I happily discovered this is a good resource for all writing. I recommend it as a good addition to your resource library.

This book changed my life... not only has my writing about art improved but the way I approach it has changed. I bought a used version of the book for a much lower price then what I could have at the book store so that was definitely awesome.

This one helped me as well get through my English 100 and Writing for artist, it was actually suppost to have been for my writing for artist but it gave me some good insight for how to write for my English 100 class as well.

The book was great for the purpose it was intended. The price for this text book was cheaper on-line then it was in the school book store. Will indeed use amazon for all my text book needs.

easy to read, very helpful and succinct.

This book arrived on time, and it's in great shape. I'm definitely happy with my purchase. Now if it would only write my research paper for me.

Too much money for the limited resource given. I am glad someone bought it from me; it was required for class. This text is dummy downed for college students who do not know how to write effective analysis of subject matter.

Ideal for the Degree course in fine art I am undertaking

Exactly as described, arrived in good time - great value

The book arrived with some damages. For example bottom corner of front cover was bent, there were visible scratches and it didn't look brand new on the outside. However, the inside was completely fine and the price is far than better. After all, I purchased for the content of the book, so I am satisfied. I wouldn't recommend getting books from this reseller as presents, as they might not look their best. But they are completely alright for personal use and the price is great, considering its high retail price elsewhere. Overall, would recommend for personal use to friends.

The book arrived in very poor condition, and I don't think this happened in transit. It was badly bent and still had a $1 sticker on it
