Sample Syllabus Survey of Art History

Course Description: This course examines the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and architecture, from prehistory to the present. While emphasis is placed on the arts of Europe and the United States, those of Latin America, Africa and Asia are also discussed. Objectives: By the end of the semester, you should: 1. Be familiar with the different types of visual arts, media, and techniques. 2. Understand the development of art across regions and time periods. 3. Understand the relationship of art to historical events and religion. 4. Be familiar with the role of artists and patrons, and the development of the art market. 5. Be able to describe, analyze, and research a work of art using the appropriate terminology. Required Textbook (with MyArtsLab subscription): Stokstad, Marilyn and Michael W. Cothren, Art: A Brief History. Upper Saddle River: Pearson, 2012. Grading: Study Plan Tests (15%) A series of tests (on http://myartslab.com/) will be assigned in order to prepare students for the Midterm and Final exams. These tests will assess students first on fact-based questions, then on more conceptual ones. As the student progresses in the Study Plan the questions become customized depending on the student’s performance. Compare and Contrast Paper (30%) You will select a pair of artworks from a list, which will include painting, sculptural, and architectural comparisons, and afterwards write a paper about their similarities and differences. Details will be provided separately. Midterm Exam (20%) You will complete an exam in class, testing your knowledge on the material covered in class up to that point. Final Exam (20%) You will complete an exam, testing you on all the material covered this semester. Attendance, Homework, & Participation (15%) It is not enough to simply attend class; students must also come prepared to actively contribute to in-class discussions and assignments. Students are also responsible for completing all homework assignments, including chapter readings and written assignments, in a timely manner. Paper Guidelines: You need to choose one of the following pairs and write a paper, keeping in mind the below prompt: In a well-developed essay, EXPLAIN in detail how two works of art are both similar and different, in terms of subject matter, material, technique, style, composition, and iconography. ..

5


It is not sufficient to simply state similarities and differences; you need to INTERPRET what you see. Keep in mind that your audience is a general audience, meaning that you will need to DEFINE any art historical terms. While this paper does not require research, please keep in mind that if you decide to use ideas or descriptive sentences from another author, you must indicate the source in parentheses, footnotes, or endnotes, and include a Works Cited page. For additional help on how to write a “Compare and Contrast” essay, visit http://myartslab.com/ Policy on Absences and Tardiness: Absences and lateness are strongly discouraged, and as mentioned above, they will impact your final grade in this class. Whether your absence is excused or unexcused, it still counts as an absence, and you are still responsible for any missed assignments, handouts, and notes. Policy on Academic Integrity: Any form of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating will NOT be tolerated. We will devote some class time to discussing this issue, as well as the college’s policy on Academic Integrity. Disability Statement: Any student with a documented disability must contact the college’s office of Disability Services in order to provide students with adequate academic accommodations and auxiliary aids. Civility Statement: In order to foster an environment of tolerance and civility in this classroom and across the college, students are asked to be courteous and respectful of others regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, and ability.

MyArtsLab Multimedia Library Closer Look: Prologue: Iconography Teaching with MyArtsLab Homework Assignment: Ask students to go home and select an object (NOT an artwork) in their home that they consider to be art. They will then present their object and reasoning to the class. The point of this assignment is to demonstrate the different values of art and how these can be determined on an individual basis. In-Class Assignment: Watch A Closer Look: Iconography and discuss the difference between visual description and interpretation. Describe the objects in the still life, as well as analyze them. Key Terms Abstraction Connoisseurship Iconography Nonrepresentational

Patron Realism Still life Trompe l’oeil

Class Discussion Topics and Questions Question: What is Art? And what can we learn from it? Question: What is Art History? And why is it an important field of study?

Think About It I.1 How would you define a work of art? I.2 Compare one naturalistic and one stylized painting. How would you characterize the difference in representational mode? Why would an artist choose one or the other? I.3 Identify the conventional subjects and symbolism of one specific painting in the Introduction and discuss how this subject matter takes on further meaning when understood in its cultural context. I.4 What do the self-portraits of Artemisia Gentileschi and Alice Neel tell us about the way they conceived of themselves as an artist? Compare what are they trying to accomplish in these paintings with Kiki Smith’s goals in Untitled.

The students should provide at least one photograph of one of these methods. In-Class Assignment: Ask students to discuss the possibilities of how they think the Stonehenge was built, how the Sarsen stones were transported from 20 miles away, and how they were then raised in the post-and-lintel manner. Afterwards, show them the Closer Look: Stonehenge feature to resolve the issue. Key Terms Attributes Ceramics Corbel vault Dolmen Capstones Henge

Question: The new Acropolis Museum in Athens, Greece (which opened in 2008) has on exhibit the metope, frieze, and pediment sculptures from the Parthenon. While most of the sculptures on view are original, there are parts that are reconstructions, since the originals are at the British Museum. Famously known as the Elgin Marbles, these sculptures were removed from the Parthenon by Lord Elgin and shipped to Britain from 1801 to 1805. Should they be returned to Greece after the British Museum has conserved and preserved them for so many years?

Class Discussion Topics and Questions Question: How does the Equestrian Portrait of Charles the Bald (?) compare to the Equestrian Statue of Marcus Aurelius? And what do these differences tell us about the personality of each ruler? What does Charles the Bald (?) borrow from Marcus Aurelius, if anything? Students should mention the importance of the equestrian portrait in the Roman tradition, although the depiction of Charles the Bald (?) is much more authoritarian than Marcus Aurelius, who is depicted as an intellectual. Another important point to mention is the difference in size, which speaks to a difference in function. Question: Compare and contrast the Virgin and Child with Kneeling Figure of Hatshepsut, ask students to discuss the role of these women in their respective societies and to discuss how the manner in which they are depicted, whether as maternal or authoritarian figures, speaks to that role. Think About It 10.1 Compare and contrast representations of the Gospel author Matthew in two books discussed in this chapter. 10.2 Explain the reference to ancient Roman tradition in the small bronze portrait of a Carolingian ruler in Fig. 10-6. 10.3 Define the term “Romanesque,” and outline the key stylistic features of the architectural style, grounding your answer by referring to specific buildings. 10.4 Discuss the type of sculpture that was integrated into Romanesque buildings. Where was it located? Why was it there? What sorts of messages did it convey to medieval viewers?

Class Discussion Topics and Questions Question: Gothic cathedrals are the equivalent of city skyscrapers today in that they dominate the skyline and emphasize verticality. Why, in both contexts, is height such an important factor? What is achieved with height? Question: Vasari described Gothic as an “anti-Classical” style, hence the derogatory term “Goths.” But does Gothic architecture truly destroy the Classical examples of the Roman Empire? In what ways, if any, does the Gothic build on Roman art? Discussion Topic: Compare Cimabue’s Virgin and Child Enthroned with Giotto’s Virgin and Child Enthroned in regards to realism. Focus on issues of perspective, three dimensionality, space, composition, and shading. This discussion should lay the groundwork for the classicism of Giotto and his eventual influence on the Italian Renaissance. Think About It 11.1 Explain what you think are the most important technological innovations and cultural factors that made the “Age of the Cathedrals” possible. 11.2 Choose one manuscript discussed in this chapter and analyze how its illumination was used to convey complex theological ideas and/or teach moral lessons. 11.3 Identify the three works of art in this chapter that were commissioned by French King Louis IX. Discuss their relationship to this political life and aspirations. 11.4 Compare and contrast Duccio’s and Giotto’s renderings of the biblical story of Christ’s Raising of Lazarus (Figs. 11-25, 11-29). In what ways are these paintings representative of Sienese and Florentine art at the beginning of the fourteenth century?

Class Discussion Topics and Questions Question: If “renaissance” means “rebirth,” then ask students to describe what exactly is being born again during this period. What Classical attributes are the Italians borrowing from the Greeks or Romans? Make sure they are specific in their response. Discussion Topic: Discuss dome building, tracing its history from Mycenaean tombs, to Hagia Sophia, the Pantheon, and the Florence Cathedral. Conclude by discussing domes that they are familiar with today, and how those were built. Discussion Topic: Discuss the shift in patronage that occurred from the Gothic to the Renaissance period and how that altered artistic production. Think About It 12.1 Discuss the symbolic meanings that fifteenth-century viewers would have comprehended in the objects obtained in the domestic environments of either the Mérode Altarpiece (Fig. 12-3) or the Arnolfini double portrait (Fig. 12-1). How have the artists made these objects look so real? 12.2 How do fifteenth-century Northern painters present the devotional visions of the patrons within their paintings? Focus your answer on a specific example. 12.3 Define linear perspective. Choose a work in this chapter that clearly demonstrates its use and discuss how the artist employs this technique. Does perspective affect the way the story is told or the meaning that it conveys? 12.4 Choose one wealthy patron discussed in this chapter and explain how this patronage fostered the emergence of the Renaissance in fifteenth-century Italy.

Class Discussion Topics and Questions Discussion Topic: Discuss the importance of realism in art as a Western construct, first articulated by the Greeks, and not necessarily shared by non-Western cultures. Use Ngady Mwaash Mask and Crowned Head of a Ruler to discuss alternate styles in African art. Discussion Topic: Building on “The Myth of ‘Primitive’” (page 434), discuss the impact of colonization on the study of non-Western art. Instead of using the word “primitive,” the more recent terminology is “non-Western,” however this term is also problematic since art is still being determined in relation to the Western world. Even the words “New World” and “Old World” are problematic, since there were civilizations in Latin America and Africa well before the arrival of European colonizers; hence they were not “new.” Think About It 16.1 Select one work of art in this chapter and identify and summarize the role it played within its original cultural context. 16.2 Explain the way one of the following works was used: the Yoruba twins in Figure 16-17 or the Benin hip mask in Figure 16-4. How could a museum exhibition of your chosen work help viewers understand this important aspect of its meaning? 16.3 Choose a work in this chapter that was made for a political leader and explore how its form and meaning related to the political aspirations of its patron. 16.4 Explain the role of masquerade in African art by discussing the role of masks in these two rite-of-passage ceremonies: the initiation rites of the Bwa culture and the Kuba funeral ceremony.
