A must-have
| Customer Rating: | | 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. |
informative
| Customer Rating: | | this book was an excellent resource. as a college student, it made writing my papers so much easier! |
Great reference guide
| Customer Rating: | I purchased this book at the beginning of the semester and have found it an invaluable resource. This is my first term as a graduate student, and I don't think I could have survived had it not been for this book. It gives useful commentary, helpful hints and a terrific reference section for footnotes and bibliographies. It addresses real problems that often occur in writing an art history paper and provides insightful solutions that encourage independent thinking. It also includes a section on essay exams which gets a quick read through when I take a test.
I had several "a ha!" moments when reading it for the first time, and now I keep it within arms reach whenever I write.
The price was a little steep, so I hesitated in buying, but when I finally made the purchase I was glad that I had.

Good reference
| Customer Rating: | | This is a great book to refer to when writing an art history paper. I was an art history major in college, and this was the book that was recommended by the majority of my professors. I definitely recommend buying yourself a copy, because the copies at my art library were always checked out! |
