Exploring Art Histories Exercise
This class is focused on learning about art in general: what is art, how does it work, how do we talk about it, how do we understand it, and how do we enjoy it. What we haven’t done is explore the history of art: the many historical traditions of art-making that we find in all cultures all around the world.
As you may have noticed from our “Making Sense of Art” exercises, knowing the historical context of an artwork makes a big difference. When Art Historians look at art, they are almost always concerned with trying to figure out what the context of an artwork is and what the artwork can tell us about that context. In a nutshell, they look at artworks as historical artifacts, primary sources for the society and culture they come from.
In our final regular assignment in this course we get the chance to dip our toes in the waters of art history. We do so by using the resources of smarthistory.org, an online compendium of top-flight articles and videos about art history.
To complete this assignment, browse smarthistory.org for an individual artwork, building, monument, or archaeological site that interests you.
Your selected work will be represented by an article and/or a video or related multi-media resource. Read the resource(s) for your selected work, and write a minimum 300-word post that:
identifies the work you selected
describes and discusses the work, with a focus on its historical significance
explains how the work exemplifies the larger period or culture that it comes from.
describes what you found especially fascinating and noteworthy about the work (why did you choose it? why is it especially cool? how did it surprise you?)
