  • ART 227: Realism to Impresionism

    3.00 Credits
    Assumption University

    This course seeks to explore the major avant-garde movements in Western Art in the second half of the 19th century. Concurrent with the evolution of a modern society, as well as technological advances such as photography, Realism in England, France, Germany and other European nations, as well as in America, sought to combine an awareness of the changing social milieu of new urban centers and redefined rural areas with a penetrating modern vision and style. Subsequent formal and thematic innovations in Aestheticism and Impressionism redefined ideas of the subject of art and its means. This class will explore these works in terms of contemporary criticism, painting practice, and the construction of Modernism in this period. Norris/ Three credits

    This course is an examination of Islamic art and architecture that introduces the student to a non-Western tradition, encouraging the student to study art forms within cultural and societal contexts that greatly differ from those of the West. This course examines four areas of artistic achievement within the Islamic world: ceramics, architecture, textiles, and arts of the book. An overarching theme of the course is the role that representations of the Koranic verse played in the formation of all four art forms, thereby underscoring the fusion of faith and art within the Islamic world. Although the course is designed as a geographic and chronologic overview, certain art forms will be focused on in greater depth, such as Turkish ceramics ad Iranian manuscripts. The closing segment of the course examines 20th century Islamic architecture, that of mosques as well as secular buildings. Staff/ Three credits
