ART226 Early American Painting and Sculpture
The aim of this course is to provide a basic knowledge of the painting and sculpture produced in the United States from its beginnings to the end of the 19th century. The development of our heritage in art will be traced within the context of the historical setting, as well as within the tradition of Western culture. Special attention will be given to uniquely American aspects and developments of our artistic history. The key works of art of each period as examples of stylistic change and as documents of their time will be studied. The student will become conversant with the basic "vocabulary" of key works and artists. Not open to students who have completed ART 200 (American Art & Architecture), this course is taught in a five-week format.
