Subject:

Description:

Arth 201 and Arth 202 make up a yearlong course that provides an in-depth examination of the development of the art object from prehistoric to modern times; this course is designed for students seeking greater academic challenge in the field of art history than is available in the standard introductory 101 course. Students will approach the material on several levels: through lecture classes held jointly with Art 101/102; through an 80-minute weekly discussion section based on a seminar model and including student-led discussions and seminal readings in the field and, most important, through a spring trip to New York City led by both faculty and students and intended to emphasize the significance of the study of original works of art and architecture. Because of the advanced nature of this course, an additional half credit is offered to students enrolled each semester, for a total of one additional credit for the year.
