COURSE DESCRIPTION

2. Palm Beach State College
Course Syllabus – Classroom Courses
Template Date – July 2013 2
A comparative exploration of art, architecture, and design from the Paleolithic period to the
European Gothic. Painting, sculpture and architecture from this time period will be studied
critically with regards to the formal qualities of art, as well as the larger context of world events
and philosophy. Emphasis will be placed on the artist’s role in society and how social factors
give rise to various art forms. Students will evaluate and examine contextual and cultural
factors and their influence on the patronage and production of formal and stylistic visual
languages that arises out of a specific time, place, and culture. Art History 1 requires the
acquisition of a critical and formal language in which students come to identify, describe,
analyze and compare the visual characteristics of various works using the correct art historical
terminology and vocabulary. Art History cultivates a deeper and more expansive awareness of
Art, images, and the vast cultural histories we have inherited.
