Survey Of Western Art History I Syllabus

SECTION 1020 AHIS 1- SURVEY OF WESTERN ART HISTORY I SYLLABUS

Walter Meyer, meyer_walter@smc.edu, 310.434.8266, Office Art 216

Office Hours: Mondays 9-10am online

Other days/times by appointment

This course will survey the history of artistic expression from the earliest pre-historic forms to the Gothic style. The course lectures and readings will be largely based on painting, sculpture and architecture throughout these centuries. Since the course deals as much with history as with art, we will also be exploring the different historical events, artistic media and philosophical theories that inform the artworks presented in the class. We will look at art as not only a receptor of cultural values but also a participant in the creation of culture.

Goals:

I believe that Art History deals as much with history as with art and I therefore explore the different historical events, cultural contexts and philosophical beliefs when artworks are presented in the class. My interest in art history stems from its ability to act as a nexus and lens through which to understand and view past and present. I look at art as not only a receptor of cultural values but also a participant in the creation of culture. Just as we can see the influence of history and culture on artworks, we must think of how art promoted values and ideas. Within this course, I have four primary goals:

1) Gain Proficiency in reading visual language

2) Interpret, and interact w/ varieties of culture

3) Demonstrate ability to think and write critically about art and culture

4) Understand the various roles art plays in our society

Student Learning Outcomes:

1)To demonstrate visual literacy and effectively communicate visual phenomenon with appropriate art historical terms; emphasizing cultural connections with the art objects’ larger social, political, and economic context while noting how that function may have changed over time.

2)To acquire research skills including the ability to evaluate sources and evidence and distinguish common methodologies used in art historical analysis.

3)To engage in interdisciplinary, cross-cultural, and relational thinking through a critical examination of interdisciplinary connections with art globally and throughout history; Contextualizing works of art within their larger social, political, and economic function.

4)To demonstrate that contemporary visual culture is not random but on the contrary a mediated chain of material signifiers that is both historically and culturally embedded.

Required Materials:

This is a zero cost course and there will be no required materials to purchase. Throughout the canvas course will be links to online texts and readings. Everything you need to succeed will be provided for you inside the Canvas course
