Description
Historical survey of painting, sculpture, installations, films, and architecture from the beginning of the Baroque to the 21st century. Art works are discussed in their historical, social, and political context including comparisons to other creative disciplines. Students will learn to describe, analyze, and interpret visual art works in their historical context. As a survey in art history, this class is part of a two-semester sequence (ART 261 and ART 262); however, each class can be taken and understood independently.
