Textbook: Art History, Portable Edition; books 1-6, 3rd Edition, Marilyn Stokstad

Course Description: A survey of European Art covering the following units:

Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassicism, and Romanticism; Realism,
Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Symbolism, and Art Nouveau; and 20th Century
Art. The course will utilize single screen or multiple rear screen slide projection, video
tapes, lectures, discussions, and a museum trip.

Objectives: Upon successful completion of the course, a student should be able to:
• Identify the materials (mediums) and methods used in making works of art
• Demonstrate an understanding of the elements and principles of art and design,
and the associated terminology.
• Examine the subject matter of a work of art and consider the piece in the context
of art history.
• Use a framework to analyze and describe a work of art.

Grading: You will be evaluated in this course each day according to the following
criteria:
• Completion of assignments (as given in class) with substantial investment of
thought, time, and effort in regular class hours
• Handling of materials
• Participation and attentiveness both in class and in critiques
• Attitude and willingness to learn
• Punctuality and attendance.

The grading scale is as follows:

A- Excellent quality and above average achievement
B- High quality and above average achievement
C- Acceptable quality
D- Deficient quality, passing
F- Failure to meet minimum

Attendance: Attendance is a necessary requirement to complete this course. Being

absent for twice the number of weekly meetings will be tolerated before your course
grade is affected. For each subsequent absence, the course grade will be lowered by one
full letter grade. It is recommended that you use these tolerated absences for situations
beyond your control: illness, accidents, etc. In the calculation of attendance, every 3
“tardies” will be counted as one absence.
If you arrive more than 10 minutes after the beginning of class you are considered
tardy. 3 tardies= 1 Absence 5 Absences= 1 lower grade.

Tests and Assignments:

There will be approximately 3 to 4 tests given during the semester, depending on the flow
and comprehension of the class. There will also be discussion papers, and a group
presentation on a selected Artist. (Artist list given in class)
