ARTH 210 | Survey of Art History II

Alisn Napier, Instructor | Fall 2024

Welcome to ARTH 210 Survey of Art History II!

ARTH 210 presents the history and interpretation of architecture, sculpture, and painting beginning with prehistoric art and following the development of western civilization to the Renaissance. Art History is the study of human expression through history. Art historians develop ways to translate from the visual to the verbal in order to analyze how artistic expression makes meaning in the world, and how those meanings contribute to our social, political, and spiritual life.

This version of ARTH 210 is designed to allow students to experience an online course in the History of Art II while interacting with their peers and working within the new Canvas template. This course is divided into 6 units. All learning materials, assignments, and assessments outside of the Gardner's Art Through the Ages, Volume I textbook are located within these module unit folders

EACH MODULE UNIT FOLDER INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING:

A Message from the Instructor and Student Learning Objectives: A brief introduction to the unit content and objectives, and a reminder to post all content-related questions to the help discussion board.
A List of Assignments for the Unit: A list of all unit assignments/assessments and their corresponding due dates.

NOTE: Time management is a critical component to being a successful online learner. There are no class meetings for this course, but it is designed to take an estimated 6-8 hours each week to complete all readings and assignments.
