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.

They will be given the chance to present to the class their findings - highlighting what the person was known for or contribution, their early life and education, and other information that the student finds interesting to share.
Some of the people we will study include:
Alexander Graham Bell,
The Wright Brothers,
