End of Semester 1
Ancient Near East to Gothic
Gothic Art - Sculpture and Gothic Style Architecture in England
This week's lesson takes us to the Gothic Architectural style in England. Many similar details exist, but the English have features of the Gothic style that are distinctly their own. In terms of sculpture, we will see a return to many classical conventions (figures in the round, elegant forms) and even a look back to Praxiteles's sculptural canon.
Semester Final Format
The purpose of the semester final will be to access the database of art history that you are storing in your brain. The exam will force you to recall specific images for the free response questions. There will be 30 in class image IDs. Please review your Cue Cards and the Blackboard for the complete titles for image IDs. One free response will also be completed in class. A multiple choice online test covering items from our entire semester will be available on Thursday night to be completed by Saturday afternoon.
