Description

Pfew… writing all the scripts and doing all the research for this course was exhausting. I mean… oh, sorry. You're here. Let's focus on YOU!!!First of all, thank you for even looking at my course. It's an honor to have you.Since you're looking at this page, the topic of art history must have piqued your interest. I am an artist myself and I have always wondered what has been happening with other artists from the past, throughout the centuries.When you study art history, it's as if voices from the dust are calling out to you, showing you inspiration from the masters who perfected their skills, some of which have left us a legacy of beautiful creativity and innovative styles, sculptures, paintings, and architecture.Follow along on this journey through the centuries, studying painters and artists from the Renaissance, the Baroque, and modern times who contributed to our sense of realism, perception, and knowledge about materials, techniques, and more.The second part of this course focuses on artworks from cultures outside of Europe, sometimes less famous but certainly not less impressive. Countries such as Thailand, Nepal, Ethiopia, Mexico, and Japan have left their traces and traditions for us to study and admire.All of these narratives and stories, as well as the display of their works, are packed together with my awkward, quirky sense of humor, my supposed split-personality, and some controversial opinions that you either love or hate. Either way, if you think art history is boring, think again! Because in this course, it isn't!
