ART 106H Honors - Introduction to Art History
Provides a foundation in art history, introducing issues central to the study and interpretation of visual culture. Through class discussions and assignments emphasizing comparative analysis, research strategies, and communication skills, students will be challenged to think critically about the nature of art and the discipline of art history. This course focuses on "visual literacy" - on building and employing the vocabulary needed to discuss and interpret works of art and architecture. This course is a more demanding section of ART 106 incorporating student-led inquiry into the intersection of visual art and its practice within historical and contemporary cultural contexts.
