Syllabus+2012-2013

** Pernie Fallon ** ** 2012 - 2013 **  AP Art History is a challenging, college-level course You will acquire the tools enabling you to be conversant about any piece of art you encounter for the rest of your life, mastering how to approach a work of art, the vocabulary and analytical methods with which to discuss it, and the knowledge of how it fits into the general sweep of art historical periods and styles. You will also work toward achieving an understanding of the interconnectedness of art with other aspects of world culture. By giving “voice” to works by lesser-known artists and from unfamiliar cultures, we will aim to develop as broad as possible a perspective about and appreciation for both European-based and non-Western art. You will receive the preparation enabling you to score well on the AP exam, earning you credit at most of the colleges and universities in the United States. Attendance on class field trips and successful completion of field trip assignments will earn a 100 major test grade. Students who miss field trips for legitimate reasons may see me about an alternate field trip assignment.

Issues to explore in class discussions and written assignments for weeks one through seven:
Who are the patrons of religious art and architecture, and what impact do they have on its content and form? How can we recognize the art and architecture of a particular religion? Why are art and religion intimately connected throughout human history? How does art serve the needs of religion? What does the comparison of non-Western and Western art reveal about artistic patronage, practice, purpose, meaning, and style? What sorts of things emerge as universals and which are more culturally specific? Do artistic styles seem to follow the same kind of development in Asia as inEurope? Are the historical forces that shape Asian artistic evolution markedly different from those affecting European art? Which artistic innovations do the Western and non-Western worlds seem to have both discovered independently and which did each have to learn from the other?
 * How do artists communicate religious beliefs and concepts? How do they differentiate between the natural and the supernatural?
 * Is there universality in the ways human beings have expressed their spiritual beliefs through art? Are there any features that **all** religious art shares? Are there universal images permeating human religions like archetypes in mythology?

Issues to explore in class discussion and written assignments in weeks eight - fourteen:
What impact did major historical events such as the Crusades, the Black Death, the spread of Islam, and the expansion of navigation have on the European mindset and resulting art?

Is the work of Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Raphael inherently superior to that of Giorgione and Titian? What exactly distinguishes the Venetian style from Florentine and Roman art of the same period?

In what ways are Romantic artists reacting against the Enlightenment's intellectual climate? How does Romantic art reflect a break from deep-seated artistic rules inherited from the Renaissance? Why does this occur? To what extent do Romantic visual artists reflect developments in contemporary literature and music? Stylistically and thematically, how do artists express the same kinds of notions found in Romantic music and literature? By what process does photography come to be considered //art//? Do early photographers seem to define their work in that way? What functions does photography serve from the beginning that both link it with and distinguish it from the other visual arts? What impact does photography have on painting and vice versa? How do painters emulate photographers and how do photographers emulate painters? Technically speaking, what is the range of artistic expression inherent to photography? How do photographers manipulate their medium for their desired effects? What exactly is //Realism//? Does it mean the same things for writers and for visual artists? What subjects do artists choose to depict realistically? Why? Is optical realism what is most real? If not, what techniques can artists use to portray their understanding of what is real? In what ways do the socioeconomic changes accompanying the Industrial Revolution affect the birth of Realism? To what extent was Realist art used as propaganda for social change? To what extent is Realism a reaction against Romanticism? How do the Pre-Raphaelites represent a reaction against Realism and/or Impressionism? How do the Impressionists represent perhaps the most dramatic break from the Renaissance tradition up to their time? How does their work reflect radical change stylistically, in their concepts of art's purpose, and in their ideas of themselves as artists? Who were their greatest influences and why? What impact does the opening of European-Japanese trade relations have on the art world? Why are European artists so taken with Japanese woodblock prints? How do they emulate those prints in their own paintings and prints? Why were Post-Impressionist artists initially attracted to Impressionism, and why did each become dissatisfied with it? What was each trying to accomplish artistically and what in their work made them influential for other artists? How do the Post-Impressionists reflect the changing role of the artist in Western society?
