ART - HISTORY Art History is a truly unique field of study in which the past is learned not through accounts of kingly lineage or wars but through humanity’s most beautiful creations. This discipline prepares students to analyze visual forms and research historical contexts, and—more importantly—to synthesize the two in order make meaning of art from across the globe and throughout time. Because humans make art to communicate the breadth and depth of human experience, art historical inquiry can lead to a consideration of a wide range of subjects. Those can include cultural, ethnic, social, religious, economic, and political topics, in addition to artistic and aesthetic ones. This discipline serves students who want to sharpen their artistic eye, enrich their cultural backgrounds, solidify their knowledge of history, develop analytical and writing skills, sharpen their critical sensibilities, and prepare for opportunities in museums, galleries, historical societies, and more. The Art History discipline is particularly well-suited to students considering themselves visual learners. ARTH 1 INTRODUCTION TO ART 3 Units In this introduction to art, our class will travel through history and across the globe to learn how we humans use painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, and other artforms to respond to our circumstances, to solve our problems, to demonstrate our values, and to make beauty from the materials we find around us. (Formerly ART 1; may not receive credit if ART 1 has been completed.) ARTH 3 FILM HISTORY AND APPRECIATION 3 Units This course aims to immerse students in three key foundations of film: its history; its artistry; and its interpretation. For the history portion we cover the invention of film through the first widespread use of color (1878 to 1939). For the artistry portion we cover essential technical and formal elements of film-making. For the interpretation portion we cover the conventions and social functions of different film genres. These topics are presented through slide-illustrated lectures and screenings of films (and film clips) from many countries of origin, providing lessons in global approaches to the artform. ARTH 3 is especially appropriate for visual learners. ARTH 4 ART HISTORY-ANCIENT TO GOTHIC 3 Units This course presents a chronological history of the West using iconic artworks that embody the conditions and values of the people who created them. We begin in prehistory, when Cro-Magnons painted the walls of their caves, and end in the late Medieval period, when artists sought ways to give tangible form to God and the heavens. Along the way, we cover visual masterworks by ancient Arabs and Persians of Mesopotamia, northeast Romans in the Mediterranean region. This course is especially appropriate for visual learners. (Formerly ART 4; may not receive credit if ART 4 has been completed.) ARTH 7 MULTICULTURAL HISTORY OF AMERICAN ART 3 Units A multicultural survey of American art from 1800 to the present.

Addresses how male and female artists and artisans from these groups have used various art forms to assert their gender and ethnic identity in response to historical change.
