Art

ARTH 200 - The Story of Art: An Introduction to Art History I
Art History 200 introduces the visual art and architecture of early world civilizations until the Late Medieval period (14th century). Students discover artistic trends through time and across various cultures, learning to “read” and interpret the visual arts. The focus is on Western art and architecture’s roots in ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome through to the Middle Ages in Western Europe, but students will also see art of non-Western cultures, including but not limited to India, China, Japan, Africa, and the Middle East. By examining world cultures, students appreciate the histories, beliefs, and artistic productions of each culture individually, while forming an over-arching understanding of the meaningful contributions each makes to the discipline of art history as a whole.
[Spring Term 1: May 3 – 20, Monday- Friday, 6:30 – 9:30pm, Room N108]

ARTH 201 - The Story of Art: An Introduction to Art History II
Art History 201, a continuation of Art History 200, starts with the traditional transition in Western art, the Late Medieval period to the “rebirth” of art (as claimed by the artists of that time) in The Renaissance, and continues to art of the present day. The language of art is further developed and students willl earn some keys to decoding that language. As with Art History 200, Western art and architecture will receive the greatest focus, however, non-Western cultural productions from the Late Medieval period to the present day will also be explored. Such cultures may include India, China, Japan, Africa, and indigenous arts of North America. The exploration of non-Western world cultural productions alongside those of Western cultures informs students of their continuing interactions throughout history, allowing them to form a more integrated world view.
