6/29/16 Art History II

Today's Class-  Today was mostly going over the syllabus and the student surveys.  I discussed a little bit the kinds of topics that will come up.  Our study of art really begins tomorrow.

Important Artworks-  The Last Judgment (Sistine Chapel) by Michelangelo.  (We'll discuss with much more detail when we get to the Renaissance)

Next class- We start looking at art.  We'll begin with an overview of western culture and the effects of political powers, technology, religions, etc.  If there is time, maybe start on early Renaissance art.
