It's $15.61 on amazon: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Mona-Lisa-Prehistoric-Post-Modern/dp/0740768727" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Mona-Lisa-Prehistoric-Post-Modern/dp/0740768727</a></p> <p>I used this in a high-school art class I taught, and it was well-received. Lots of color photos of artwork. Egyptian, pre-Columbian, and African art are featured along with Western art.</p> <p>Paperback has the advantage of cheapness but will not last as long as a hardback in a high-school classroom. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/62#post-141 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:03:24 +0000 MsSeattle 141@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>I will be taking on a semester-long freshman art history class next year and would like to find an interesting text for my students with a lot of pictures. I would like for the text to be manageable for students who are not interested in art history. It would also be nice if the book covers both western and non-western art. I was told that the books that I found - Discovering Art History ($64.95) and Art in Focus ($89.62) are too expensive. Any ideas? </p>
