A comprehensive introduction to the universal language of art.
The Fourth Edition of Exploring Visual Design is a dynamic introduction to the building blocks of art. Each chapter focuses on a different element or principle of design, including: line, shape and form, balance, and
movement and rhythm. Through an in-depth look into these design concepts, students learn how diverse cultures and times have used a common visual language to express their own unique perspective. Teachers and students are introduced to contemporary art and artists by 19 Art:21 artists featured in
the book, with links to videos of the artists at work and additional text and image support materials available online for print or digital buyers. Studio opportunities help students find their own voice as they become increasingly fluent in this universal language.
