I can not believe that a book that retails for over $30 on 'perceiving art" presents its art examples in black and white form. The descriptions of how to perceive art were given at a very superficial level. I could have just gone to the internet and found the info presented in this book, which is what I did do in order to pass my writing assignment. The book was not a total waste, however. I will resell it to another student taking the same class and recoup some of my lost money.
