Museum visits will help students gain first hand knowledge of some of the art produced by the people and cultures that will be covered.  Tests and papers will help students express opinions on the artwork and artists studied as well as confirm the acquisition of knowledge.  We will look at the social, political, and cultural context of various artworks and how the art reflects the culture and the religion of the time.  This is largely a historical look at art but media, techniques and design elements will also be discussed.  

Course Objectives:

• Understand the various design elements that make a work of art.
• Provide a basic interpretation of a work.
• Understand the various movements and styles of different historical periods.
• Provide an evaluation of a work of art from both a Christian viewpoint and an aesthetic one. 

NOTE from YEAH PSEO instructor:  

• This course will cover the same chronological timeline of art history as in the tutor's high school course "Art History & Appreciation" but will take the subject to a much deeper level of study and discussion per collegiate standards. 
• PSEO students who have had the instructor's high school course should consider enrolling in this course to deepen their knowledge and build on the foundation already laid. 
• Work outside of the classroom will be expanded, heightened and increased to maintain college level standards.  
• MIA tours (2 per semester) will be mandatory and included in the course syllabus.  
• Two written exams, chapter reflection essays, oral presentation and a major project will be due each semester. 

Course Expectations:

• Class time will be spent in review and discussion of text material, analysis and observation of the period's art and artists, presentation of student oral reports.
• Two written exams, chapter reflection essays, chapter study quizzes, one oral report on a given artist or subject per student, and Visual timeline will be due each semester. 
• MIA tours (2 per semester) will be mandatory and are included in the course syllabus and course credit hours necessary for completion of this course.
