Description:
Art through the Ages is a 36-week course with 28 lessons, each of which takes approximately 1-1/2 weeks. Students will investigate the history of art and the intricacies of composition, color and presentation. Students begin by studying art of the ancient world and progress through the ancient Near East, Egypt, Aegean, Greek, Etruscan, Roman and Early Christian art to the art of the Middle Ages. Students also study about art beyond Europe and investigate the native arts of Asia, the Americas and of Oceania before returning to study the Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo, Modern and Post modern art. During the course they will visit as many online art displays as possible, participate in local field trips to museums and art galleries and demonstrate mastery of some of the techniques of color, composition and presentation by preparing art work of their own in different styles. Students may take the first semester of the course without taking the second semester but may not take semester 2 without taking semester 1.
