Learning Outcomes

  1. In addition, students will engage with secondary texts in art history in order to refine their critical evaluation of such scholarship and gain an awareness of the methodologies of the field
  2. Students will become familiar with important artistic and cultural trends of the period
  3. Ultimately, as a senior capstone, this course aims to equip students with the skills necessary to formulate complex theses that address both formal artistic concerns and historical circumstances
  4. We will examine a range of primary sources, both visual and textual, and learn to understand the different ways in which these sources communicated through style, language, and structure. Close visual observation will inform written formal analysis

  6. Students will engage in the self-assessment, reflection and analysis of this process that prepares them for future success and be able to articulate this to future educational and professional interlocutors (CCC LO2)
