As a history major, I often found the raw material dry, especially if my professors or teaching assistants lacked enthusiam for the subject. But as I connected historical events to art and art history, it helped the dry facts come to life and play out in my mind like a movie. I hope this class makes that connection for my students, bringing rcolor and life to the events of our past.
