About the Author

Chemeketa Community College is located in Salem, Oregon, with several branches and learning centers, serving over 30,000 students each year. The Art Faculty created Art for Everyone to replace their existing art appreciation text. The faculty decided that they could do better. Their aim was to produce a shorter text that would be accessible to students in price, readable, and address course needs.

Chemeketa's Land Acknowledgement
Chemeketa Community College was built on the land of the Kalapuya, who today are represented by the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Confederated Tribes of the Siletz Indians, whose relationship with this land continues to this day. We offer gratitude for the land itself, for those who have stewarded it for generations, and for the opportunity to study, learn, work, and be in community on this land. We acknowledge that our College's history, like many others, is fundamentally tied to the first colonial developments in the Willamette Valley. Finally, we respectfully acknowledge and honor past, present, and future Indigenous students of Chemeketa Community College.

Reviews

"Art for Everyone helps students recognize and appreciate the art they encounter around them. The text is global in scope yet emphasizes regional artists. Students will not be overwhelmed by complicated academic jargon and will learn to analyze and think about art. It will help students see how art fits into their own lives."--Alyssa Reiser Prince, Coker University

"This textbook uses language that is more approachable for students: a text that is easier to digest is more likely to be read... Art for Everyone also includes more non-western examples of art and artists to include art and artists who have been historically marginalized is a major need in art appreciation and history."--Sarah Bartram, Kent State University

"Art for Everyone is well-written, concise, and targeted to students who have no previous knowledge of art."--Louise Arizzoli, University of Mississippi
