ART 126 Art History World Survey I 15th century to Modern Art
This course surveys art and architecture from the 15th century to the late 20th century. Students are introduced to the movements and styles of art around the world and the world’s increasing interconnectedness during this period. We will discuss the role that cultural and historical factors had in the development of new styles as well as the role they played in the spread of styles across national and perceived cultural boundaries. We will also examine the characters and motivations of individual artists such as: Leonardo DaVinci, Aqa Riza, Cristóbal de Villalpando, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and the Guerrilla Girls and how that affected their styles and livelihoods. Lecture three hours per week. This course applies to the IAI General Education Core Curriculum Fine Arts and Humanities package.
