AP Art History Teacher: Ms AP Art History Teacher: Ms. Palmer [email protected] Course Description This course is intended to prepare students for the AP® Art History Exam. This course offers the serious student the opportunity to explore, in depth, the history of art from ancient times to the present. The first semester covers art from the Paleolithic through the Early Renaissance. Second semester covers art from the High Renaissance through Postmodernism. Through readings, research, slides, videos, and museum visits, students will view significant artworks from around the world. Writing skills will be important in the description, analysis, and comparison of these works. Students are encouraged to keep a notebook to record class discussions on significant historical events, art periods/styles, specific artworks, and issues/themes that connect these artworks. Course Objectives The AP Art History course will enable students to: Think critically about both history and art Understand the concept of context and contextual analysis as it relates to both European and non-European visual works of art across cultures and throughout history Learn to identify common characteristics among diverse artworks based on periods/styles and themes Cultivate an appreciation for all styles of art Synthesize the interrelationship of the elements and principles of design in visual images Convey knowledge of techniques, media, and processes of the three major art forms Relate works of art to their proper cultural and historical origins Required Textbook M. Lazzari. Exploring Art: A Global Thematic Approach. Cengage, 4th edition (2011). Academic Dishonesty Students are expected to do their own work. Copying or stealing the work of others, whether on a project, written assignment, quiz or test, is considered plagiarism and is a violation of the code of conduct. Students are expected to understand and observe the rules of fair use and copyright. Make-Up Tests The student is required to take the make-up test within (2) two days of the original test date. Should the student miss the make-up test (which is the same one given in class), a significantly different (and often more difficult) test will be administered. This is not done as a punishment. Rather, it is done so that tests may be discussed in class promptly. Your absence must be excused through the attendance office. Field Trips Scheduled trips to local museums and institutions of higher learning are considered mandatory for a complete and comprehensive understanding of the AP Art History content. We will visit National Gallery of Art, Hirschhorn Museum, and the Museum of African Art as a class. Students must schedule an independent visit to another museum of your choice. Assignments and Projects Daily/Weekly Students are required to read approximately one chapter per week from their primary textbook as well as complete supplemental readings from Web sites, articles, and other texts. Videos are also shown to supplement the textbook, which students are required to take notes on to prepare for short quizzes. Students will complete an analysis graphic organizer for 4-6 artworks per chapter. The graphic organizers include the following information for each artwork: identification, period/culture, subject/iconography, style/technique, and significance/function/purpose (includes social, political, and religious values of the culture; patronage; art historical/historical significance). Students will also create comparative graphic organizers to make connections between artworks of the same period/culture as well as to other periods/cultures. Students will be given a study guide to complete prior to each unit’s exam. Students will be given pop quizzes on reading assignments, as well as an extensive exam at the end of each chapter/unit (these include multiple-choice, short-answer, and slide questions, as well as essays) Other Assignments/Projects Students will complete several essays based on themes that connect a Western/European artwork with an artwork from outside of the European artistic tradition. Students will work in groups to present artworks from different non-Western cultures based on a common theme that the students choose themselves. Note: Students will need to bring to class each session: Paper or a journal notebook flashcards Pens, pencils, erasers 4x6” blank index cards Student Evaluation Participation 10% Student Work/Assignment 50% Assessments 40% Course Calendar Week 1 Introduction Course syllabus; Class expectations; Western vs. non-Western art; purposes of art; value of art; methodologies of art history; vocabulary of art; how to describe, analyze, and compare artworks.

  • Catalonia 1400 the International Gothic Style
    Lluís Borrassà: the Vocation of Saint Peter, a panel from the Retable of Saint Peter in Terrassa Catalonia 1400 The International Gothic Style Organised by: Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. From 29 March to 15 July 2012 (Temporary Exhibitions Room 1) Curator: Rafael Cornudella (head of the MNAC's Department of Gothic Art), with the collaboration of Guadaira Macías and Cèsar Favà Catalonia 1400. The International Gothic Style looks at one of the most creative cycles in the history of Catalan art, which coincided with the period in western art known as the 'International Gothic Style'. This period, which began at the end of the 14th century and went on until the mid-15th century, gave us artists who played a central role in the history of European art, as in the case of Lluís Borrassà, Rafael Destorrents, Pere Joan and Bernat Martorell. During the course of the 14th century a process of dialogue and synthesis took place between the two great poles of modernity in art: on one hand Paris, the north of France and the old Netherlands, and on the other central Italy, mainly Tuscany. Around 1400 this process crystallised in a new aesthetic code which, despite having been formulated first and foremost in a French and 'Franco- Flemish' ambit, was also fed by other international contributions and immediately spread across Europe. The artistic dynamism of the Franco- Flemish area, along with the policies of patronage and prestige of the French ruling House of Valois, explain the success of a cultural model that was to captivate many other European princes and lords.

  • The Early Netherlandish Underdrawing Craze and the End of a Connoisseurship Era
    Genius disrobed: The Early Netherlandish underdrawing craze and the end of a connoisseurship era Noa Turel In the 1970s, connoisseurship experienced a surprising revival in the study of Early Netherlandish painting. Overshadowed for decades by iconographic studies, traditional inquiries into attribution and quality received a boost from an unexpected source: the Ph.D. research of the Dutch physicist J. R. J. van Asperen de Boer.1 His contribution, summarized in the 1969 article 'Reflectography of Paintings Using an Infrared Vidicon Television System', was the development of a new method for capturing infrared images, which more effectively penetrated paint layers to expose the underdrawing.2 The system he designed, followed by a succession of improved analogue and later digital ones, led to what is nowadays almost unfettered access to the underdrawings of many paintings. Part of a constellation of established and emerging practices of the so-called 'technical investigation' of art, infrared reflectography (IRR) stood out in its rapid dissemination and impact; art historians, especially those charged with the custodianship of important collections of Early Netherlandish easel paintings, were quick to adopt it.3 The access to the underdrawings that IRR afforded was particularly welcome because it seems to somewhat offset the remarkable paucity of extant Netherlandish drawings from the first half of the fifteenth century. The IRR technique propelled rapidly and enhanced a flurry of connoisseurship-oriented scholarship on these Early Netherlandish panels, which, as the earliest extant realistic oil pictures of the Renaissance, are at the basis of Western canon of modern painting. This resulted in an impressive body of new literature in which the evidence of IRR played a significant role.4 In this article I explore the surprising 1 Johan R.

  • EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTING Part One
    EARLY NETHERLANDISH PAINTING part one Early Netherlandish painting is the work of artists, sometimes known as the Flemish Primitives, active in the Burgundian and Habsburg Netherlands during the 15th- and 16th-century Northern Renaissance, especially in the flourishing cities of Bruges, Ghent, Mechelen, Leuven, Tounai and Brussels, all in present-day Belgium. The period begins approximately with Robert Campin and Jan van Eyck in the 1420s and lasts at least until the death of Gerard David in 1523, although many scholars extend it to the start of the Dutch Revolt in 1566 or 1568. Early Netherlandish painting coincides with the Early and High Italian Renaissance but the early period (until about 1500) is seen as an independent artistic evolution, separate from the Renaissance humanism that characterised developments in Italy; although beginning in the 1490s as increasing numbers of Netherlandish and other Northern painters traveled to Italy, Renaissance ideals and painting styles were incorporated into northern painting. As a result, Early Netherlandish painters are often categorised as belonging to both the Northern Renaissance and the Late or International Gothic. Robert Campin (c. 1375 – 1444), now usually identified with the Master of Flémalle (earlier the Master of the Merode Triptych), was the first great master of Flemish and Early Netherlandish painting. Campin's identity and the attribution of the paintings in both the "Campin" and "Master of Flémalle" groupings have been a matter of controversy for decades. Campin was highly successful during his lifetime, and thus his activities are relatively well documented, but he did not sign or date his works, and none can be confidently connected with him.

  • The 15Th International Gothic Association Conference A
    The 15th International Gothic Association Conference Lewis University, Romeoville, Illinois July 30 - August 2, 2019 Speakers, Abstracts, and Biographies A NICOLE ACETO “Within, walls continued upright, bricks met neatly, floors were firm, and doors were sensibly shut”: The Terror of Domestic Femininity in Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House Abstract From the beginning of Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House, ordinary domestic spaces are inextricably tied with insanity. In describing the setting for her haunted house novel, she makes the audience aware that every part of the house conforms to the ideal of the conservative American home: walls are described as upright, and “doors [are] sensibly shut” (my emphasis). This opening paragraph ensures that the audience visualizes a house much like their own, despite the description of the house as “not sane.” The equation of the story with conventional American families is extended through Jackson’s main character of Eleanor, the obedient daughter, and main antagonist Hugh Crain, the tyrannical patriarch who guards the house and the movement of the heroine within its walls, much like traditional British gothic novels. Using Freud’s theory of the uncanny to explain Eleanor’s relationship with Hill House, as well as Anne Radcliffe’s conception of terror as a stimulating emotion, I will explore the ways in which Eleanor is both drawn to and repelled by Hill House, and, by extension, confinement within traditional domestic roles. This combination of emotions makes her the perfect victim of Hugh Crain’s prisonlike home, eventually entrapping her within its walls. I argue that Jackson is commenting on the restriction of women within domestic roles, and the insanity that ensues when women accept this restriction.
