MAN CREATES ART CREATES MAN, as the title suggests, is about the unend ing and inseparable
relationships among man, his art, and his environment. The author's style is sincere, lively,
humane, and
informative. At last, art is treated as part of the creative process of living, as a means of
expanding man's aware ness of his place in, and effect on, the ecosystem. The author does away
with elitism and approaches
art as necessary to our existence. Written particularly for the beginning art student, it pro
vides a broad understanding of the concepts, techniques, and history of art. The author's
purpose is to expand awareness
through art, in the hope that this awareness can be transformed into positive action to meet
human needs.
