ART H 3400 - Hist-Art Criticism

Institution:

University of Utah

Subject:

Description:

Works of major critics, historic and contemporary, are analyzed to identify the philosophical positions on which their critical criteria are based. The course emphasizes the process that leads systematically through description, analysis, and interpretation to the formulation of defensible critical judgments. In addition to critical history, the class will consider issues relevant to contemporary society including censorship, morality, feminist views, and the application of literary critical methods. Students will learn to apply current, critical methods as ways of analyzing and interpreting art and architecture. The course is primarily organized around student presentations and class discussion of assigned readings. Students are required to write assigned critical essays based either on readings or selected topics, and will be graded on class participation and preparation of their assigned presentations.
