Teaching Methodology:
1)
Traditional Classroom Methodology:
The class will be taught in a lecture-discussion format. Participation in class discussions
is required so that students may enhance both critical thinking and communication skills.
The instructor will present material for discussion from a variety of media sources, and
when possible, the class will make visits to museums to see works of art produced during
the periods considered in the course. The textbook is intended as a source of background
information, and the instructor extends its scope, often with primary source material.
The instructor draws connections among the historical events of the period, the aesthetic
ideas current in the period, the technologies of the time period, specific cultural milieux,
and the contributions of individual artists. The course is designed to present the study of
art history as an examination of the contributions of artists within the context of broader
historical, religious, and cultural developments.
2)
Online Methodology
This course will be taught as a lower level survey course in an online asynchronous
environment that combines online presentation of content with individual writing
activities and group discussions. Critical thinking and formal analysis skills will be
developed through active learning. Course content will be presented through online
documents, presentations, audio files and video. The instructor draws connections among
the historical events of the period, the aesthetic ideas current in the period, the
technologies of the time period, specific cultural milieux, and the contributions of
individual artists. The course is designed to present the study of art history as an
examination of the contributions of artists within the context of broader historical,
religious, and cultural developments.
