Why are certain artworks considered important in art history? What are the methods and theories art historians use to gauge aesthetic, cultural, and historical significance of the artworks? Through exploring these questions, students will learn about the methods and cultural contexts for constructing their own brief accounts of art history. Specifically, students will apply the art history methods to select, observe, analyze, and discuss the artworks. Students will practice what an art historian would do when carrying out rigorous research and writing about a major artwork. Students will also examine the methodological and critical cultural issues in the field of art history. This course was previously ARTS-4010 Art History: A Study of Cultures. Students taking this course should have upper-level standing with advanced level academic skills. A lower-level art history class is highly recommended.
