Past Looking: Using Arts As Historical Evidence in Teaching History
Social Studies Research and Practice www.socstrp.org Past Looking: Using Arts as Historical Evidence in Teaching History Yonghee Suh Old Dominion University This is a comparative case study of how three high school history teachers in the U.S.A. use art in their practice. The following research question was investigated: How do secondary history teachers incorporate the arts—paintings, music, poems, novels, and films—in their teaching of history and why? Data were collected from three sources: interviews, observations, and classroom materials. Grounded theory was utilized to analyze the data. Findings suggest these teachers use the arts as historical evidence roughly for three purposes: First, to teach the spirit of an age; second, to teach the history of ordinary people invisible in official historical records; and third, to teach, both with and without art, the process of writing history. Two of the three teachers, however, failed to teach historical thinking skills through art. Keywords: history, history instruction, art, interdisciplinary approach, thinking skills, primary sources. Introduction Encouraging historical thinking in students is not a new idea in history education. Since the turn of the 20th century, many historians and history educators have argued that history consists of not only facts, but also historians’ interpretation of those facts, commonly known as the process of historical thinking, or how to analyze and interpret historical evidence, make historical arguments, and engage in historical debates (Bain, 2005; Holt, 1990; VanSledright; 2002; Wineburg, 2001). Many past reform efforts in history education have shared this commitment to teach students to think historically, in part by being engaged in the process of historical inquiry (Bradley Commission on History in Schools, 1988; National Center for History in the Schools, 1995).

Leonardo Da Vinci
Leonardo Da Vinci eonardo Da Vinci has become known as one of the best Lexamples of a “Renaissance Man.” A Renaissance Man is a term that describes what many artists were doing during the Renaissance: they were exploring science, technology and art all at the same time. Da Vinci was born in the Florence area of Italy in the 1400s. At the time, Florence was the center of the Renaissance’s beginning. Vetruvian Man Florence had been in the Dark Ages for many years, but by the time Da Vinci was born, life had settled down enough that people had time to learn about ancient art and science. People were inspired to try these things on their own and a whole new age of learning began. Before the Renaissance, paintings were very religious. Most were done in an iconic style, meaning the painter wanted people to focus more on the religion behind the painting rather than the artistry. However, Da Vinci had studied Greek and Roman art and wanted to make art in a similar style. Greek and Roman art was very realistic and was inspired by scientic study. Da Vinci took it one step further — when he painted human figures, even in clothes, he would start by drawing the skeleton, then the body over that, then finishing the painting. His paintings and drawings of people were very realistic. His famous drawing, The Vetruvian Man is one of the first examples Study of a Horse of someone trying to map out the proportions of the human body. Accurate perspective was another part of painting that Medival art often ignored.

Art history 1 Art history Art history has historically been understood as the academic study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts, i.e. genre, design, format, and look.[1] This includes the "major" arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture as well as the "minor" arts of ceramics, furniture, and other decorative objects. As a term, Art history (also history of art) encompasses several methods of studying the visual arts; in common usage referring to works of art and architecture. Aspects of the discipline overlap. As the art historian Ernst Gombrich once observed, "the field of art history [is] much like Caesar's Gaul, divided in three parts inhabited by three different, though not necessarily hostile tribes: (i) the connoisseurs, (ii) the critics, and (iii) the academic art historians".[2] As a discipline, art history is distinguished from art criticism, which is concerned with establishing a relative artistic value upon individual works with respect to others of comparable style, or sanctioning an entire style or movement; and art theory or "philosophy of art", which is concerned with the fundamental nature of art. One branch of this area of study is aesthetics, which includes investigating the enigma of the sublime and determining the essence of beauty. Technically, art history is not these things, because the art historian uses Venus de Milo on display at the Louvre historical method to answer the questions: How did the artist come to create the work?, Who were the patrons?, Who were his or her teachers?, Who was the audience?, Who were his or her disciples?, What historical forces shaped the artist's oeuvre, and How did he or she and the creation, in turn, affect the course of artistic, political, and social events? It is, however, questionable whether many questions of this kind can be answered satisfactorily without also considering basic questions about the nature of art.

What Is Art History?, from Gardner's Art Through the Ages
What is Art History?, From Gardner’s Art Through The Ages What is art history? Except when referring to the modern academic discipline, people do not often juxtapose the words art and history. They tend to think of history as the record and interpretation of past human events, particularly social and political events. In contrast, most think of art, quite correctly, as part of the present—as something people can see and touch. Of course, people cannot see or touch history’s vanished human events, but a visible, tangible artwork is a kind of persisting event. One or more artists made it at a certain time and in a speciEic place, even if no one now knows who, when, where, or why. Although created in the past, an artwork continues to exist in the present, long surviving its times. The Eirst painters and sculptors died 30,000 years ago, but their works remain, some of them exhibited in glass cases in museums built only a few years ago. Modern museum visitors can admire these objects from the remote past and countless others produced over the millennia—whether a large painting on canvas by a 17th-century French artist (Fig. I-1), a wood portrait from an ancient Egyptian tomb (Fig. I-14), an illustrated book by a medieval German monk (Fig. I-8), or an 18th-century bronze altar glorifying an African king (Fig. I-15)—without any knowledge of the circumstances leading to the creation of those works. The beauty or sheer size of an object can impress people, the artist’s virtuosity in the handling of ordinary or costly materials can dazzle them, or the subject depicted can move them emotionally.

Leonardo Da Vinci Renaissance Man, Genius
Leonardo Da Vinci Renaissance Man and Genius COMPILED BY HOWIE BAUM LEONARDO DA VINCI Born in 1452, in the village of Anchiano, in Tuscany, Italy, near the town of Vinci, now a museum. He was an illegitimate son of Ser Piero da Vinci, a successful notary and member of a prestigious family, and a young peasant woman - Caterina di Meo Lippi. Leonardo lived with his mother during the first years of his life. By 1457, at the age of five, he lived in the house of his grandfather, Ser Antonio, da Vinci. Leonardo’s father - Piero di Antonio da Vinci married another woman several months after the child’s birth and soon moved to Florence. He served as a notary for the Medici family. He married 3 more times and had a total of 13 children. Leonardo’s Uncle - Francesco da Vinci (shown at left) adopted him and through this act removed the stigma of his beloved nephew's illegitimate birth. An artistic genius, a pioneer of medical research, scientist, architect, engineer, and inventor of many machines and devices. Leonardo da Vinci truly was the ultimate Renaissance man. He was hundreds of years ahead of his time with his technological ideas and ambitions. WORKSHOP APPRENTICE Leonardo’s beginnings as an artist when he was 14, followed the traditional route of indenture in an established master’s workshop, from 1467 to 1476. In this case, it was in the studio of Andrea del Verrochio, a very successful artist in the orbit of the Medici family who was as accomplished a business man, as he was an artist.

Perspective Drawing and Projective Geometry
Perspective Drawing and Projective Geometry Capstone WeiPing Li The Renaissance was a cultural movement that profoundly affected European intellectual life in the early modern period (15th century). Beginning in Italy, and spreading to the rest of Europe by the 16th century, its influence was felt in literature, philosophy, art, music, politics, science, religion, and other aspects of intellectual inquiry. Renaissance scholars employed the humanist method in study, and searched for realism and human emotion in art. Humanists asserted "the genius of man ... the unique and extraordinary ability of the human mind." One of the distinguishing features of Renaissance art was its development of highly realistic linear perspective. Giotto di Bondone (1267–1337) is credited with first treating a painting as a window into space, but it was not until the demonstrations of architect Filippo Brunelleschi (1377–1446) and the subsequent writings of Leon Battista Alberti (1404–1472) that perspective was formalized as an artistic technique. The development of perspective was part of a wider trend towards realism in the arts and reflecting the general world view of people connected to it. Painting not using Perspective Method: Initial word panel of Psalm Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method not used Perspective method used: Masaccio, Trinity Perspective method used Perspective method used: Leonardo Da Vinci: Adoration (unfinished) Perspective method used Donatello: St. George and the Dragon Perspective method used Donatello: The Feast of Herod Perspective method used Donatello: The Feast of Herod Artists such as Masaccio strove to portray the human form realistically, developing techniques to render perspective and light more naturally.

Early Masters of Italian Renaissance Painting (V43.9306.001) Fall 2011 - Course Meetings: Wednesdays, 9:00-11:45 Am Prof
Early Masters of Italian Renaissance Painting (V43.9306.001) Fall 2011 - Course Meetings: Wednesdays, 9:00-11:45 am Prof. Guido Rebecchini, e-mail TBA Office, TBA (office hours, Wednesdays, 2:00-4:00 pm, or by appointment) Course Description This course is conceived as a series of selected studies, offering in depth analysis of a few great masters of Early Renaissance Italian painting: Giotto, Masaccio, Fra Angelico, Benozzo Gozzoli and Ghirlandaio, Botticelli, Filippino Lippi, among others. These artists have been chosen for the unique opportunity afforded by study in Florence to examine their works in original contexts, especially the great fresco cycles they created with their workshops. The course is, however, neither limited to the study of these artists nor to the study of painting. Their works will be considered in relation to those of other contemporary masters active in the courts of Central and Northern Italy, including Andrea Mantegna, Piero della Francesca, Cosmé Tura and Leonardo da Vinci. They will also be considered in rapport with other contemporary art forms, especially the sculpture of Ghiberti, Donatello and Verrocchio. In studying original works of art on site, context, function and materials will be considered equal in importance to matters of style. Special attention will be given to the phenomenon of collecting as an active force shaping the development of artistic forms and genres. The study of collecting will bring into consideration intellectual, social, economic and political issues that complicate and enrich our understanding of the work of the early masters of the Italian Renaissance. Requirements This is an advanced course in art history and has a PRE-REQUISITE of at least one course in art history.
