Macbook vs Macbook Pro vs Macbook Air?

I am going to be a freshman in college in the fall and want to purchase a mac laptop. I have never owned a mac before. What are the pros and cons of each? Also, what is the Macbook Air all about?

I am also interested in art, if this is at all a factor.

Pros – you’ll look like everyone else who spent too much money on a laptop

Cons – It’s a Mac.
