- This course serves as a general introduction to key questions about the nature and history of art in the West from the prehistoric to contemporary eras: Who creates art and why? What unique insights does it provide into the past? And, finally, what good does art do? Organized around these three central questions, lectures, readings, and assignments will address several themes, central to understanding the history of Western art in a wider global context: (1) the forms, functions, and symbolism of images, objects, and spaces; (2) materials, techniques, and skills deployed by artists, architects, artisans, and laborers to make aesthetic objects; (3) the historical and cultural construction of visual experiences; and (4) customs, beliefs, and values associated with art production, collection, and exhibition in various cultures, including patronage, fame, trade, cross-cultural influence, authenticity, and reproduction.
- Class Description:
- This course is an introduction to Art History as a humanistic discipline. It examines a selection of major monuments and works of art from prehistoric times to the present day in Europe, North America, Latin America, the Islamic world, and Asia. Students are introduced to the various ways of studying visual culture, addressing such issues as style, iconography, patronage, technology, and historical context, in order to better understand works of art and architecture in terms of the creative experience, as expressions of individuals and society, and as responses to changing materials and practices over time.
