Full year course: 1st semester builds into 2nd semester sequence; new students may enter mid-year,
if space is available and with tutor approval.
Fall Semester: Ancient through Medieval Art Spring Semester: Renaissance through Modern
Class Description::
A survey of the history of the world through art with “gallery walks”, discussion and Studio Studies – art projects to complement and enhance various areas and eras studied. The instructor-designed text, including hands-on colored “art cards” (a collection of photos of masterpieces of art) will be used for home study and review. Students will examine who some of the great artists were, what work they produced, when and where various historical periods of great art originated, why specific artwork has stood the test of time, and how we can determine what is “good” art.
Two different but continuous courses are offered, one each
semester, both using the timeline approach.
Two optional field trips are offered per semester to the Minneapolis
Institute of Art. They coordinate with the periods being
studied in class as the students "time travel" through
history through art. There is no charge for museum entrance or
parking.
Curriculum match: This class is a perfect complement to a study
of World History.
