Introduction to Art and Art History

22-0445

This is an art appreciation course utilizing Chicago's wealth of museums, architecture, and public art. By examining broad themes such as art and the self, art and power, art and the invisible, students gain the vocabulary, visual analysis skills, and historical background to understand many kinds of art. Slide lectures and class discussions provide the background for field trips to view art in person. Students must purchase the textbook Looking at Art and pay some museum admission fees.
