CEHA 0900 - Survey of Art History: Italian Renaissance to Present

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

The course introduces major movements in Western art from around 1400 to the present. A brief overview of the techniques of visual analysis will be followed with a period by period study of painting, sculpture and the graphic arts. As the course progresses to the 20th century, painting and sculpture will be supplemented by film. Daily visits to the Rhode Island School of Design Museum will aid us in our study. The works will be treated in terms of function and historical context as well as form. Although the course provides a good background for anyone planning to major in art history, it is designed for any student who wishes to have a survey of the Western artistic heritage.
