Students in Art 252 learn to analyze art, and to see, think, write and speak critically about
painting, sculpture, and empowered objects from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries in
Europe, America, and West Africa. Throughout the course, we analyze art through changing
thematic lenses. Stylistic elements, the role of art in society, and the judgment of what is good,
are persistent themes.
Required text for this course is Art History vol. II, fourth edition, by Marilyn Stokstad. Other
required readings are posted in “doc sharing” on eCollege.

10-minute Presentations:
These are 10-minute presentations of a book chapter or article that adds dimension and depth
to one of the artists or themes we study during the first three units. Reference librarians will
teach students use of tools to assist in learning how to find appropriate sources and present
images to the class. You are REQUIRED to clear your choice with me before proceeding 
15- or 20-minute Research Presentation
The final research presentation is an opportunity for students to apply extended research,
analysis, and interpretation to one work of art on the important works list. Students are
expected to formulate an original thesis about the meaning and significance of this work, and
to support it well with trustworthy sources. A minimum of seven academic peer-reviewed,
modern sources must be used in preparing your presentation.
Students must bring their presentations to class on a USB drive.

GRADE:
Exams
Each of the three 90-minute exams requires that test-takers demonstrate their understanding
of themes and “important” works of art presented in class and readings. Each exam will
include a variety of types of questions, including multiple choice and short essays. The 120minute final exam is comprehensive, and includes these types of questions, plus analysis of
“unknown works” for which you are asked to identify the style and approximate date of
works based on general principles.
Each exam has its own important works list, which you may bring to class, covered with as
many notes as you can fit. Although you may look at the important works list during exams
(no other materials are allowed), please be aware that these tests will contain many questions.
If you aren’t already VERY familiar with course materials, you will not have time to complete
the exam.
