Recommended Readings: A number of well-illustrated survey books have been placed
on reserve in McCain Library for your use. They are largely picture books to
supplement the illustrations in your text and add to your visual repertory.
Course Objectives and Requirements: The purpose of this course is to trace the development of western art from the Early Renaissance through the Modem period. The works of architecture, sculpture and painting produced by each culture will be studied from the standpoints of their technical, formal and expressive characteristics. A special emphasis will be placed upon the varied functions of art throughout history, its importance as a barometer of cultural values and as evidence of cultural changes. Three fundamental questions underlie the study of art history:
Attendance, both physical and mental, is required. There will be two one-hour examinations and a final examination. The format of the exams is a series of slide identifications, short answers and essays. Your completion of the reading assignments and participation in class discussions are vital to the health of the course! Your grade is calculated by averaging the three exam grades, with positive consideration for students who demonstrate an increasing grasp of the material over the course of the semester. There is also a French component to this course (103L), thus those French looking words after each week's reading assignment ... The time for this one hour course will be arranged by the students and instructors (Eberiel and Sadler) during the first week of classes.
