| ARTH 1 | Introduction to Art | 3.00 Units | ||
| In this introduction to art, our class will travel through history and across the globe to learn how we humans use painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, and other artforms to respond to our circumstances, to solve our problems, to demonstrate our values, and to make beauty from the materials we find around us. (Formerly ART 1; may not receive credit if ART 1 has been completed.) | ||||

| ARTH 3 | Film History and Appreciation | 3.00 Units | ||
| This course aims to immerse students in three key foundations of film: its history; its artistry; and its interpretation. For the history portion we cover the invention of film through the first widespread use of color (1878 to 1939). For the artistry portion we cover essential technical and formal elements of film-making. For the interpretation portion we cover the conventions and social functions of different film genres. These topics are presented through slide-illustrated lectures and screenings of films (and film clips) from many countries of origin, providing lessons in global approaches to the artform. ARTH 3 is especially appropriate for visual learners. | ||||

| ARTH 4 | Art History-Ancient to Gothic | 3.00 Units | ||
| This course presents a chronological history of the West using iconic artworks that embody the conditions and values of the people who created them. We begin in prehistory, when Cro-Magnons painted the walls of their caves, and end in the late Medieval period, when artists sought ways to give tangible form to God and the heavens. Along the way, we cover visual masterworks by ancient Arabs and Persians of Mesopotamia, northeast Africans and Nilotic peoples in Egypt, and Greeks and Romans in the Mediterranean region. This course is especially appropriate for visual learners. (Formerly ART 4; may not receive credit if ART 4 has been completed.) | ||||

| ARTH 5 | Renaissance to Modern | 3.00 Units | ||
| This course presents a chronological history of the West using iconic works of art and architecture that embody the conditions and values of the people who created them. We begin as Humanism cleaves the Early Renaissance away from a Medieval mindset, and conclude in recent times, as art is radically redefined by modern and contemporary artists to evocatively reflect our unpredictable, challenging times. This course is especially appropriate for visual learners. | ||||

| ARTH 6 | Twentieth Century Art | 3.00 Units | ||
| This course presents a chronological history of the 20th- and 21st centuries in the West (and at times, beyond), using iconic artworks that embody the conditions and values of the people who created them. We examine artworks created in a wide variety of media and targeting a broad range of subjects. Our focus is on major movements and influential ideas of this period, which-more than any other art historical period-were shaped by women artists, indigenous artists, disasporic artists, and artists of color. This is especially appropriate for visual learners. | ||||
