Students in Art 252 learn to analyze art, and to see, think, write and speak critically about
painting, sculpture, and empowered objects from the fifteenth through twentieth centuries
in Europe, America, and West Africa. Throughout the course, we analyze art through
changing thematic lenses. Stylistic elements, the role of art in society, and the judgment
of what is good, are persistent themes.
Required text for this course is Art History vol. II, third edition, by Marilyn Stokstad.
Other required readings are posted in “doc sharing” on eCollege.

GRADE:
10-minute Presentations:
These are 10-minute presentations of a book chapter or article that adds dimension and
depth to one of the artists or themes we study during the first three units. Reference
librarians will teach students use of tools to assist in learning how to find appropriate
sources and present images to the class. PLEASE clear your choice with me before
proceeding . . . J
15- or 20-minute Research Presentation
The final research presentation is an opportunity for students to apply extended research,
analysis, and interpretation to one work of art on the important works list. Students are
expected to formulate an original thesis about the meaning and significance of this work,
and to support it well with trustworthy sources. A minimum of seven academic peerreviewed, modern sources should be used in preparing your presentation.
Students must bring their presentations to class on a flash drive.
Use the following grading rubric to guide your preparation for this assignment:

about the work discussed

necessary, but the presentation also “goes

that is appropriate to the topic
• Each work of art shown has a caption
underneath, listing artist, title, and date

in MLA style as the final slide of the
presentation.
COMMENTS

rehearsed, with smooth transitions

pace and good volume
• The student looks out at the audience
frequently, and directs attention to
important elements of art work displayed
• PowerPoint frames are clear and helpful,
with little text, no typos, and appropriate
stylistic choices
• Time is well used and appropriate to the
assignment
GRADE:
Exams
Each of the three 90-minute exams requires that test-takers demonstrate their
understanding of themes and “important” works of art presented in class and readings.
Each exam will include a variety of types of questions, including multiple choice and short
essays. The 120-minute final exam is comprehensive, and includes these types of
questions, plus analysis of “unknown works” for which you are asked to identify the style
and approximate date of works based on general principles.
Each exam has its own important works list, which you may bring to class, covered with
as many notes as you can fit. Although you may look at the important works list during
exams (no other materials are allowed), please be aware that these tests will contain many
questions. If you aren’t already VERY familiar with course materials, you will not have
time to complete the exam.
