AR 521 Seminar: Sacred Art in History

All course requirements are completed online. Students will engage in individual work, as well as small group and whole class discussions using Canvas to work through the assigned problem and create written responses. Challenging topics in art history are assigned each week to deepen student understanding of a particular form of religious art and its possible roles, to create opportunities for students to locate appropriate resources, and to promote critical thinking skills in the context of complex art history questions. The group discussion problems enable students to make a connection between the information presented by the text and through research and the historical and cultural circumstances in which religion and spirituality has influenced art. 500 level students can expect more complex learning objectives and the requirement of a portfolio piece.
