A survey of developments in western European and American art from the early Renaissance to 1900, including concepts of modernism. Lectures with slides, films, and readings.

PROFESSOR’S ADDENDUM - This is a slide lecture course that utilizes group participation in class discussions to communicate course content. FA 2202 is a survey of the arts of the Western tradition from the Italian Renaissance towards the twentieth century. Its chief purpose is to introduce you to the history of Western art from the early stages of the modern period as it progresses into modernism. We will explore the development of historical styles – or modes of expression – but this course also seeks to provide students with the fundamental tool of visual literacy and a sense of the variety of interpretation and analyses that allow art historians to understand works of art within their cultural and historical context. Students will learn the vocabulary of art; be able to identify and describe key monuments, techniques, and styles that characterize art historical movements; apply their knowledge in an analytical research paper assignment and in tests and quizzes; and evaluate each other’s work in the course during collaborative exercises including discussion and peer-review. This course is the sequel to FA 2201, and the prequel for FA 2203.

Learning Objectives
- Identify key stylistic differences among art historical movements and artists
- Identify contextual changes that resulted in stylistic shifts
- Demonstrate an understanding of methodological approaches in art criticism and art historical scholarship
- Apply research specific to the arts and humanities to scholarly writing
- Apply a visually literate vocabulary to in class discussion, writing, and research.

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class.
