Skills are to be developed in stylistic and conceptual analyses, problem solving, and critical thought. Emphasis will be placed on written and verbal expression to be developed to articulate visual works of art. The institutional function of the museum or gallery is studied as driven by the acquisition, care, and explication of the object as an entity, or in connection with others of like kind. That there is a building, a director, a Board of Trustees, curators, conservators, a Registrar, security officers, a maintenance crew, is all in response to the art object as one in a gathering of such, or collection. The course is intended as a pre-professional, experiential introduction to the functioning of the art museum with site visits and presentations by museum professionals. Prereq: ARTH 101, ARTH 102, and any 200-level ARTH course.
