VMA-113 Art History: Renaissance-Contemporary

This course is a broad multicultural survey of art and architecture from the Early Renaissance through contemporary times. Through formal analysis students will learn to use visual language to express aspects of design such as style, composition, perspective and materials. Students will explore how global, social, political, and cultural events influence, and are influenced by, artists and the production of art. By engaging with works of art through discussion, writing, museum visits, and making projects, students will explore the process of human creative endeavor, and will construct a narrative about artistic expression as it relates to society and their own experience. This course meets the General Education requirement for Creative Work.
