Art History
how art came about
Subject:
Art history spans the entire history of humankind, from prehistoric times to the twenty-first century. Whether you like to observe caveman paintings or Botticelli angels, you can find visual arts that challenge your creative side and inspire you to find beauty in manmade forms.
In modern times, art history has emerged as a discipline that specializes in teaching people how to evaluate and interpret works of art based on their own perspective. Art history has frequently been criticized for its subjectivity because the definition of what is beautiful varies from individual to individual. Learning to evaluate what you see by building on the art forms you already know can develop your aesthetic understanding.

Nici Lesson Plan - Images of George Washington
Subject:
Lesson Plan: Images of George Washington J. Nici Objective: The purpose of this lesson is to extend the range of student understanding of works of art beyond the canon. All too often, teachers focus only on those works likely to appear on the AP exam, and ignore other works, fearing that if students are not always focused on the exam, they will lose ground. It is the contention of the author that a breadth of experience sometimes will yield a greater appreciation and understanding of particular aspects of art history. Skills attained: Students will learn that there are various approaches to creating, interpreting and analyzing an image. Students will consider works classified as great works of art, as well as more mundane images that are common in everyday life. Topics:
