COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course explores the production of art from Ancient Greece to the 20th century. We will investigate the relationship between art and culture, paying particular attention to how art, its meaning, function, and reception are shaped by the social and
historical ideals and circumstances of the period. The class will consider art in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, architecture, printmaking, photography and decorative arts. Students will be encouraged to approach each period through a distinct theme or topic, using a small group of monuments or objects to illustrate the theme and to gain a richer understanding of the character of the society and the nature of its artistic vision. By stressing the importance of analyzing each work within its own particular cultural perspective and of looking at works of art closely, the course encourages students to develop their skills of critical and visual analysis. Readings from the textbook will be complemented by in-depth discussions of specific monuments through primary source readings. COURSE GOALS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES
1. Inquiry and Analysis: Students will demonstrate an ability to write and speak in class about artworks in terms of their formal qualities, as well as in terms of the artwork’s contextual and historical background.
2. Critical and Creative Thinking: Students will be able to articulate the formal and
stylistic similarities and differences between artworks over various periods and styles
of art and apply various interpretations and analyses across historical periods.
3. Written Communication: Students will demonstrate their knowledge of artworks through a variety of types of writing, including analytic exercises, reflective writing, visual analyses, exam question responses, and research papers. 1 4. Oral Communication: Students will be able to discuss works of art verbally, using acquired art-specific vocabulary, during classroom discussions and, where possible, in-class presentations.
5. Informational and Technological Literacy: Students will demonstrate their knowledge and use of digital materials and resources, using databases such as JSTOR
and ARTSTOR, online collaboration through learning management systems such as Blackboard, and through their use of e-books, museum websites, and other art-
specific online resources.
