Description
Class Experience
Welcome to an introduction of the earliest arts known to man! During this course, students will learn basic artistic concepts and terminology through a discovery of the artistic processes of the ancient world. Students can expect to become familiar with basic art historical frameworks and terminology and major art pieces of the ancient world through lectures and hands-on assignments over six weeks of exploration. Each course contains a fifty-five-minute lecture and time for questions and...
Students will learn the following things in this course: --How to talk about and describe art, both verbally and in written form --The characteristics of art of different movements and cultures --How to think critically about art and images that are presented to you --How art fits into a larger historical context and how world events shape art production
I have been teaching introductory art history courses at the undergraduate level for three years now and one of the biggest complaints I get from my own students, who are primarily college freshman and sophomores, is that they were not exposed to the arts sooner. I wanted to develop this introductory course 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!
Learners will be given the choice of two projects to complete before each week, which will take less than an hour to complete. these projects are optional for students who wish to complete them.
No outside materials are necessary! I will provide any links to videos for preparatory assignments.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Learners are assessed on their in-class participation and their homework assignments. Grades provided upon request.
50 minutes per week in class, and an estimated 1 - 2 hours per week outside of class.
Artwork may feature nudity or violence, specifically the Greek and Roman works. No artwork will be censored in class.
