Yasmin Pantaleon’s Profile

This in­tro­duc­tion to art his­tory in­cludes the study of paint­ing, sculp­ture, ar­chi­tec­ture and other media by sur­vey­ing the Re­nais­sance pe­riod through the early 20th cen­tury using a global ap­proach. The ex­plo­ration of art and ar­chi­tec­ture in terms of his­tor­i­cal, so­cial, and po­lit­i­cal con­texts, mean­ing and style will pro­mote a gen­eral un­der­stand­ing of the de­vel­op­ment of art forms and style from dif­fer­ent pe­ri­ods and in dif­fer­ent cul­tures, as well as the ef­fects of cul­tural ex­changes on the arts. Dis­cus­sions of tech­niques, media, com­po­si­tion, and rep­re­sen­ta­tion will pro­vide an un­der­stand­ing of key con­cepts in art.

This introduction to art history includes the study of painting, sculpture, architecture and other media by surveying the Renaissance period through the early 20th century using a global approach. The exploration of art and architecture in terms of historical, social, and political contexts, meaning and style will promote a general understanding of the development of art forms and style from different periods and in different cultures, as well as the effects of cultural exchanges on the arts. Discussions of techniques, media, composition, and representation will provide an understanding of key concepts in art.
