7/27/16 Art History II

Today's Class-  We just did some reviewing today, and I collected some of the research assignments.

As part of the review process I gave a list of some of the events and world changes mentioned in each day's lecture, things that could be reference in essay questions on the final.  Even though this information was already on the blog for each day, I promised I would repost these summary statements here tonight, so here they are:

6/30/16- Empires come and go.  Wars, Science
7/6/16- Paper arrives in Europe, Book Arts develop
7/11/16- Sensuality, Bible and Mythology together, Reformation/counter-Reformation
7/12/16- Rendering skills, emotion and drama, economic changes
7/19/16- Neoclassicism, revolutions, scientific advances
7/20/16- History Painting on the rise
7/21/16- Political Art on the rise
7/25/16- Romantic Landscape, colonialism and Imperialism, academies, salons, photography

Homework- the last current events articles will be presented tomorrow.  Any other written assignments will need to be turned in soon, as we have just one week to go.
