Marjorie
Munsterberg's "Writing About Art" (www.writingaboutart.org)
is
now available as a paperback book from Amazon.com ($10; counts
toward
free shipping). The book explains the different approaches
encountered
in undergraduate art history classes.
The history
and development of each type of visual or historical
analysis
is briefly explained, using passages by well-known art
historians
as examples. Sample student essays are accompanied by
extensive
explanations of suggested revisions. The book also includes
a
step-by-step guide to researching art historical topics and a
section
about correctly citing sources. Indispensable for any art
history
course!
