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!

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.
