Summer Work

SUMMER HOMEWORK: Use the Gardner introduction below to complete the following assignments at home:

• The Questions Art Historians Ask

• The Words Art Historians Use*

*note: this assignment has space to draw examples of the terms. This is entirely optional: you will not lose points if you don't have drawings/images.

Templates for both of these assignments can be accessed below. They are due on the first day of class and are intended to familiarize you with the field of art history as well as some of the terms you might see throughout the course. These assignments should not take long, but you should be thoughtful in their completion. 

OPTIONAL: If you can, I highly recommend taking some time this summer to visit an art museum, gallery, public installation, etc. after completing these assignments: I'd be interested to see whether you begin to think of art in a different way after this brief, but thoughtful introduction. 

I can't wait to meet all of you in the Fall! Until then, enjoy your break!
