IAI Major Course Description - ART901 : Art History I

(3 semester credits)

Retired 12/31/2008: The historical development of the visual arts, focusing on major artistic styles, movements, works of art, and monuments. Works are examined as expressions of the ideas, beliefs, and practices of artists, cultures, and societies. Historical periods may be divided into 2 or 3 one-semester courses. Since schools divide historical periods differently across courses, students should complete the entire sequence at the same school. Schools with only a two-course sequence will grant 3 credits in electives in art for completion of a three-course sequence. See detailed course description at: Art HistoryI-III Outlines
