Art History

Over the course of 22 episodes, we’re going to learn about art history—the study of objects and images to understand their meaning and the people, places, and times they come from. Sarah Urist Green will equip you with a toolbox of terms to analyze and evaluate art, draw connections between different cultures and time periods, and ask big questions about how history gets made. This content is partially based on the AP Art History curriculum and that of an introductory university-level course. By the end of this series, you should be able to: *Recognize and understand the context of visual/material culture from prehistory to the present*Use the context of a wide array of voices from many different regions to analyze art and provide a nuanced interpretation of material culture*Understand the interconnectedness of global cultures by examining overlapping themes, materials, and technique*Grasp the ways 20th and 21st century art have ushered in, and continue to pave the way for, subsequent movements, as well as advancing contemporary themes, issues, and debates in art history*Use tools and vocabulary to apply what you have learned in the series to art and design in your daily lifeKey texts cited include: Art History Volume 1, 6th edition by Marilyn Stokstad and Michael W.
