Institution:

Cornish College of the Arts

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the stylistic developments of painting, sculpture, and architecture of the European Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neo-Classical, and Romantic periods, from 1300-1850. The course focuses on the context of changing political, religious, intellectual, and cultural environments, and uses images and museum objects to examine this art, while debating the inventions of the period and the role of patron and artist. The goal is to explore art history in an interdisciplinary way that weaves art, architecture, religion, and mythology into a complex whole. Students will discuss images for content, composition, meaning, and message, and will learn descriptive vocabulary and visual analysis to effectively explore works of art. Note: This course will satisfy H&S Humanities or Elective requirements for Non-Art/Design students. Open to non-majors.
