ARTH 110: Introduction to Art History

A new introductory course was introduced at St. Thomas in the spring 2006 semester.

Rather than follow the traditional chronological models that we have used up to now, this class will focus upon issues and problems in the arts, particularly how the arts express cultural, religious, and social ideas and issues. Many courses will examine broad themes such as the human body, archaeological investigation, and religious architecture. Each class will have five distinct learning units with associated assignments.

Rather than emphasizing memorization and slide tests, these classes will focus upon papers and oral presentations and assignments that seek to solve problems involving the arts.

The content of individual sections will vary considerably according to the expertise of the instructor. Click on the instructor's name below to see a synopsis of the content for each of the five learning units in her or his sections.
