DISCLAIMER: This syllabus is designed to evolve and change throughout the semester based on class progress and interests. You will be notified of any changes as they occur.  Course Description: To examine a range of global art objects and monuments from the 14th century to contemporary times and consider the variety of contexts and circumstances for the creation of these works. Stylistic characteristics, artistic biography, and iconographic interpretation will provide the foundation for the study of the relationships and the differences among artistic periods and geographic locations. Images discussed and presented in the course may contain uncomfortable or controversial subject matter. If there are concerns related to any course materials, students are encouraged to address with professor.   Learning Objectives:  • •  Student will learn to identify key works of art by geographical location, style, and artist.  • •  Student will learn to analyze formal features, content, function, and contextual variables of key works of art.  • •  Student will gain knowledge about the formal and thematic characteristics of key works of art.  • •  Student will learn to recognize how and why art changes over time.  • •  Student will learn to make attributions of unknown works of art and to analyze relationships between works of art.  • Student will think and write critically about art-historical objects. Recommended Text: No required text. An art-history survey text, such as: Kleiner, Fred S., Gardner’s Art Through the Ages: A Concise History, Volume 2, Schneider Adams, Laurie, Art across Time, Volume 2; Stokstad, Marilyn, Art History, Volume 2; or Janson, H. W., and Anthony Janson, History of Art. There are many other art-history survey texts that would provide an overview of the period from the Renaissance to the Contemporary era. Please check with me if you have questions about purchasing a textbook. See the “Suitable Standard Art History Survey Texts” document at Moodle. Copies of art-history survey texts are also on reserve in the Mansfield Library and in the Art Resource Center.  Moodle: Find Moodle at www.umonline.umt.edu where you will sign in with NetID. A link on that page called UMOnline 101 is a Moodle tutorial for students.  Hints for How to Study: For each hour of class time, you will benefit from at least two (2) hours of outside study time when you will review handouts and class-time notes, check Moodle updates and websites, and read your moodle links. Check out the following helpful advice in order to prepare for success. http://www.howtostudy.com http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/09/08/study-tips-for-college-_n_709096.html  Requirements for Course: You are expected to complete all work. Every student will take one (1) mid-term-examination, 13 (12 graded) quizzes, and one (1) final examination, and complete one (1) project/papers (this is pass/fail). Examinations are based on materials covered in lecture, readings, and sources provided at Moodle. All course work must be completed in order to earn credit for the class.
