| Description: | Students will study and investigate history through the lens of Art. How did art genres respond to or become influenced by the social, political, and environmental climate of the day.
This is a year long course study. Fall/Winter Semester will begin in the Prehistoric and Ancient time period of ~4000 BC - 400 AD. It will conclude approximately during the Art Nouveau genre that ended in 1910. Spring Semester will pick up with the events leading to WWI and carry through to current events of the 21st Century. The Art Genre’s of these time frames include Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Realism, Art Nouveau, Impressionism, Post Impressionism, Fauvism, Expressionism, Cubism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, OP Art, Pop Art, Minimalism and Contemporary. Each and everyone one of these genres is connected with current events of their time.
My goal is lead the students as they explore the events with open fresh minds, and to leave behind any notion of stuffy old boring dead people that feel disconnected and unremarkable in the context of the students current daily living and navigating their current world. |
| Requirements: | This is a CORE class. It has a high level of expectation on the students, parents and the teacher. The course work may include: lecture, scholarly discovery, report and or essay assignments, quizzes, art discovery project and a final presentation (in lieu of a final test). There will be approximately 2.5 hours of homework per week on average (30 minutes/day). I require interactive acknowledgment of Slack posts to our class channel (emoji count)
Materials: No text book required. The supply fee will cover hand outs and art project supplies as needed. Access to a computer and printer, as well as the ability to access Google Scholar and/or peer reviewed library text for generating research to complete assignments is necessary. From time to time there may be scholarly videos online, to watch as part of their assignments as well. Students will supply a dedicated three ring binder (1 ½ - 2”) with topic dividers to keep their handouts, assignments and quizzes organized. |
