ART 250: Art History

3.00 Credits

Reading Area Community College

In this course you will develop a relationship with fine art in history and evaluate that worrk in context and apply these ideas to your own interests and contemporary viewpoint. This course is a survey of art history from the caves to today. You will focus on broad ideas stretching the entirety of art history through concepts and shifting theories of art. You will achieve a comfort with discussing and comparing fine art in history. We will explore this through social, technological, and cultural positions of art, theorists and artists. The successful application of the material in this course occurs through curiosity, critical thinking, honest engagement in the community we create and diligent investigation. Prerequisite: COM 121
