Art History 352 - SEM: PORTRAITS, SELF & OTHERS

Topics course.: Artists have portrayed themselves and others in a variety of media throughout history. In addition to works of art, portraits are found in many other areas of investigation and creativity—literature, music, etc. Classes present historical overviews of paintings and sculptures. Students focus on areas of their choice from their academic programs in art history, studio art, or any field for in-depth research. Weekly classes will present a range of ideas and images, with primary focus on the paintings of Velázquez, serving an important compositional and stylistic link to Goya, Manet, Sargent, and Eakins, to name only the major figures.
