Art History from the Ground Up

Where can we start with Art? From cave paintings to the work being created right now, this speed-date with a complex discipline will whet your appetite for the art that is all around us. We’ll discuss artists’ traditional and radical roles around the world, connecting style, structure, and meaning in new ways.
 
Week 1: Thinking globally, looking locally
Week 2: Why is it called The Canon?
Week 3: How we discuss race, class, and gender – and how we don’t
Week 4: Modernism, modernism, and Contemporary art
Week 5: A few of our favorite things: Highlights of your art history
