This course is an introduction to art history from ca. 1400-1850. Although the course content focuses on art from Asia, Europe and North America, it is examined through the lens of global connections and how these connections transformed art around the world in this period. This course considers the movement of styles, objects, ideas, and technologies across space and through time. Each class period will focus on a number of issues, which will be introduced through specific examples of art. Any object may be examined from several points of view; as an independent work of art, as an example of a particular style developed within a chronological framework, or as a type which illustrates features associated with a certain locale, country, religious, political or social context.

ART 309DEast Asian Gardens4
In the areas now called China and Japan, people have been creating gardens for thousands of years. Today reinterpretations of some of these early ideas appear in diverse sites ranging from the reconstructed UNESCO gardens in Suzhou to the garden installation at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. These gardens can serve many functions: they can be a work of art, a setting in which to create, a living space, a natural pharmacy, a status symbol, an element of soft power in diplomatic relations, a symbol of identity - just to name a few. This course will look at the theme of Truth in these gardens and their representations: the connections between landscapes and gardens in art, the garden as a site of aesthetic/cultural production, the complicated relationship of nature and artifice, gardens as repositories of memory, and the idea of authenticity. What truths are revealed and which are obscured in the forms of the gardens and in their manifold representations? Students will apply what they learn to create a design on paper and write a narrative and rationale for their design. Prerequisite: FYS 101, HONR 101 or FYS 201; or#INTG#100#(or 200),#THEO#100#(or HONR 240A), and CI.

ART 309FPhotography in China4
By the 1840s, the medium of photography had arrived in China. Nearly two centuries later, it is still a powerful and popular medium. This writing and discussion intensive course explores some of the major themes addressed by photographers in China over this long history: the photograph as art, science, document, propaganda, popular culture, memory, identity. It focuses on the history of photography in China, the visual analysis of images, and a discussion of how a viewer’s context plays a role in understanding the works. Although the primary topic is the history of photography as art in China by Chinese artists, the course includes a brief history of photography as art in Europe and also examines European and American photographers who focus on China as a subject. Students will investigate both primary texts (the photographs, writings by photographers and artists, etc.), and secondary texts (scholarly articles and books about the photographs, artists, etc.).

ART 333BDigital Video Installation II4
Multi-monitor projects, live feeds, interactive environments, political interventions, meditative spaces: video installation offers artists a rich and multi-layered vocabulary with which to address a host of issues in contemporary culture. In public life, video is 'installed' everywhere as a permanent fixture - in the high-tech spectacle of Nike-town and the surveillance and security systems of parking garages, shopping malls, and prisons. This class combines studio practice, site visits, screenings, readings, and critiques of student work to examine the diverse languages and practices of video within an installation context. Students experiment with monitors, projectors, and other media while addressing concerns of site and scale, issues of narrative, identity, reception and audience, and private/public space.

ART 344Critical Theory4
This course examines in depth the major themes within modern and contemporary art theory and practice. Students will encounter and analyze the works of seminal artists, art critics, and theorists since 1985 through reading, writings, visiting, discussing and role playing. This course will consider the role of truth in art: many of the artworks will engage in appropriation and sampling and interrogate notions of authenticity ; works by the Guerrilla Girls focus on telling the truth about gender (and racial) bias in the art world; other works will show how artifice can be used to reveal larger truths.

ART 362Intermediate/Advanced Video4
Advanced camera, lighting, sound, and editing techniques. To complement Adobe Premiere Pro, advanced software in audio and special effects are introduced, namely Audition and After Effects. Offered every third semester. Course topics vary and may be repeated for up to 16 credits. ART 370GA Art History of Greece - Abroad (4 Credits) The course examines the art of ancient Greece from the Geometric Period (ca. 900 B.C.) to the end of the Hellenistic period (about 31/27 B.C.). The concerns of this course are manifold. The focus will be on functions, trends, and styles in sculpture and painting, with some address to architecture. We shall be concerned with the part art played in the everyday life of the ancient Greek. We shall also focus on the personalities of the artists, when known, and discuss the relationship of painting and architecture with sculpture: who commissioned the works and why, what the ancients thought about their art, and what the art adds to our knowledge of ancient Greek life and culture in general. Attributes: Artistic Expression (AE) ART 370GB Ancient Greek Sculpture (3 Credits) Ancient Greek Sculpture is a course designed to give the student first- hand knowledge of sculpture of the Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic periods. More than half of the class sessions take place in the National Archaeological, Acropolis, Kerameikos, Agora, and Piraeus museums. Students are also able to take advantage of field trips to Delphi, Olympia, and elsewhere. Attributes: Artistic Expression (AE) ART 370GC The Art and Craft of Curating: Making Sense of Art in the 21st Century (3 Credits) “The Art and Craft of Curating” suggests an inquiry into the world of curating art in the 21st century. The course combines theory and history of curating with hands-on experience in curating a project with the instructor’s guidance. The term curating is derived from Latin verb curare which translates as to heal/ to take care of/ to attend to. The course unravels the mechanisms through which curators make exhibitions happen whether they re-imagine contexts for existing works of art and/ or commission new artworks specifically produced/ installed for a show. Emphasis is placed on contemporary art and its curators, institutions, premises and principles, starting with the concept of the curatorial. Themes explored are, among others, history of museums and art institutions; theories of curating; the relationship between curator and artist; the premise of the white cube vs. the re-activation of historical spaces; curator-as-artist/ artist-as-curator; curator-artist-spectator. With visits to art spaces, from national museums, to privately owned galleries, the students will learn first-hand how to curate an exhibition, covering all aspects, from coming up with a curatorial concept, to more practical issues, such as fundraising, promotion, liaising with artists and galleries, insurance, budget, installing art and all constituent elements of a successful show. Attributes: Artistic Expression (AE) ART 370IC Rome Across the Ages: Art & Architecture in the Eternal City (3 Credits) This course is a survey of the art and architecture of Rome from classical Antiquity to the Seventeenth century. It will teach the basic principles of art historical analysis through an active study of monuments, buildings, and artworks within their historical context. The power of images and the messages they convey will serve as a predominant guideline to reconstruct the history of the city. Issues such as politics, patronage, taste, gender, religion, and symbolic reading will be examined, as well as the ways these inter-relate to create identities. Attributes: Artistic Expression (AE) ART 370LA History of Modern Design (4 Credits) "How has the design of modern objects made an impact on the way we live and how we feel about our lives? How has design become an art form? From buildings, to clothes, to London’s tube and phones, how has the design of these entities defined our lives and helped shape modern culture? From Victorian styles and the industrial revolution to the swinging 60’s and beyond, this course examines the products of applied design during the past 150 years, including examples of furnishings, industrial design, fashion, and graphic design, in relation to demand, technology and production, standards, fine art, social reform, and the dynamics of consumption. At the conclusion of this course students will have gained a developed knowledge of a wide range of objects, designed in Britain from the Industrial Revolution to the present day. Furthermore, they will be able to relate a wide range of objects to the socio/historical conditions in which they were produced, and to discuss the specific work of some of their most famous designers."

ART 379BArt and Medicine4
This course is intended for pre-health students or any student who will need strong visual observation and visual analysis skills to be successful in their career. The subject matter of the course images will focus on some connection to medicine. These may include Leonardo Da Vinci’s anatomical drawings, Chinese acupuncture models, portraits of patients by a number of artists, the Bodyworld exhibit and its copies, and/or media images of the coronavirus. Students will consider various ways that human minds have conceptualized human bodies (in sickness and in health; in life and in death) while honing their skills of observation. Students will be asked to consider how very different visual representations can reveal truths and how careful visual observations have advanced human understanding of medicine. The class will have required visits to museums/galleries for in-person art observation. There will also be some hands-on activities in class. Most class periods will be focused on a set of images and will have required readings by artists, art historians, medical historians, and/or medical professionals related to the image set. The class format will be a mix of discussion, short lectures, and in-class activities. Offered Periodically Identity (CI). CI course may be taken prior to or concurrently with Focus Course.
