ART HISTORYStudents in Art History examine and critically analyze major forms of artistic expression from diverse cultures spanning 27,000 years. By investigating an image set of 250 works, students develop an historic and cultural context for art history from a global perspective. Influences such as patronage, politics, class, belief systems, gender, ethnicity, and cross-cultural interactions inform students’ analysis of the style and content of art. Emphasis is placed on the language of art history and the empathetic connection between art history and the world. Students experience, research, discuss, and write about art, artists, and art making. Students will develop the vocabulary to express their thoughts and feelings about art. By the end of the class, students are able to express their voices through a position-based essay.
