Description
Class Experience
Week 1: Introductions and What is Art Crime? In Week One of the course, students will spend a portion of class going over classroom expectations and with introductions to the group. The majority of our first day will be spent discussing what constitutes "art crime" and who makes those decisions, discussing national and international committees dedicated to the stop of crimes related to art. We will also discuss, historically, what steps museums and collectors have taken to protect their...
Students will learn the following things in this course: --How to talk about and describe art, both verbally and in written form --How to think critically about art and images that are presented to you --How art fits into a larger historical context --How institutional structures marginalize certain voices within the art historical narrative --How institutions preserve and care for their collections --What legal policies are in place to protect artworks
I have been teaching art history for seven years now. I started my career teaching at the university level and in museums and have been teaching art history on Outschool since 2018. I developed this introductory series for middle and high schoolers so that they could have a foundation for talking about the arts earlier than at the college level and be exposed to history in a new way!
Each week, students will respond to questions that correlate with the week's topics in 1-2 paragraphs.
Learner progress is assessed through in-class discussions, online discussions, and written assignments. Grades are available upon request.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 0 - 1 hours per week outside of class.
Artworks may include images of nudity, violence, or religious imagery. Nazi Germany will be discussed in Week 3.
Students will be provided with outside resources after every class to elaborate on our lessons, available online. Sources used include university lectures, art historical textbooks, including Gardner's Art Through the Ages and Stokstad's Art History, cultural center websites, and museum information. When available, primary sources from the time period and area are used to include these voices prominently.
