Sample Syllabus Survey of Art History
Course Description: This course examines the visual arts, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and architecture, from prehistory to the present. While emphasis is placed on the arts of Europe and the United States, those of Latin America, Africa and Asia are also discussed. Objectives: By the end of the semester, you should: 1. Be familiar with the different types of visual arts, media, and techniques. 2. Understand the development of art across regions and time periods. 3. Understand the relationship of art to historical events and religion. 4. Be familiar with the role of artists and patrons, and the development of the art market. 5. Be able to describe, analyze, and research a work of art using the appropriate terminology. Required Textbook (with MyArtsLab subscription): Stokstad, Marilyn and Michael W. Cothren, Art: A Brief History. Upper Saddle River: Pearson, 2012. Grading: Study Plan Tests (15%) A series of tests (on http://myartslab.com/) will be assigned in order to prepare students for the Midterm and Final exams. These tests will assess students first on fact-based questions, then on more conceptual ones. As the student progresses in the Study Plan the questions become customized depending on the student’s performance. Compare and Contrast Paper (30%) You will select a pair of artworks from a list, which will include painting, sculptural, and architectural comparisons, and afterwards write a paper about their similarities and differences. Details will be provided separately. Midterm Exam (20%) You will complete an exam in class, testing your knowledge on the material covered in class up to that point. Final Exam (20%) You will complete an exam, testing you on all the material covered this semester. Attendance, Homework, & Participation (15%) It is not enough to simply attend class; students must also come prepared to actively contribute to in-class discussions and assignments. Students are also responsible for completing all homework assignments, including chapter readings and written assignments, in a timely manner. Paper Guidelines: You need to choose one of the following pairs and write a paper, keeping in mind the below prompt: In a well-developed essay, EXPLAIN in detail how two works of art are both similar and different, in terms of subject matter, material, technique, style, composition, and iconography. ..

It is not sufficient to simply state similarities and differences; you need to INTERPRET what you see. Keep in mind that your audience is a general audience, meaning that you will need to DEFINE any art historical terms. While this paper does not require research, please keep in mind that if you decide to use ideas or descriptive sentences from another author, you must indicate the source in parentheses, footnotes, or endnotes, and include a Works Cited page. For additional help on how to write a “Compare and Contrast” essay, visit http://myartslab.com/ Policy on Absences and Tardiness: Absences and lateness are strongly discouraged, and as mentioned above, they will impact your final grade in this class. Whether your absence is excused or unexcused, it still counts as an absence, and you are still responsible for any missed assignments, handouts, and notes. Policy on Academic Integrity: Any form of academic dishonesty, including plagiarism and cheating will NOT be tolerated. We will devote some class time to discussing this issue, as well as the college’s policy on Academic Integrity. Disability Statement: Any student with a documented disability must contact the college’s office of Disability Services in order to provide students with adequate academic accommodations and auxiliary aids. Civility Statement: In order to foster an environment of tolerance and civility in this classroom and across the college, students are asked to be courteous and respectful of others regardless of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, religion, age, and ability.
