ARTH 2471

AMAZING class taught by Christa Robbins! She knows exactly what she's talking about, and is such an amazing lecturer; this is my second class taken with her and it's no less as great as the first one I took, (ARTH 3591 - Art Activism). Your only homework ever is to just read and really delve into the readings, and one journal entry due every week for discussion. You will be asked to read your journal at least once during discussion. Lowkey, Christa kinda says the same thing every class but that's only proof that everything in the class ties in. The midtem and final are not so difficult, as long as you adhere to the prompt. There are a few slide IDs, compare/contrast questions, and one's that ask you to specifically relate an art piece to a concept on a reading. So, as long as you do what's expected of you (read) and just pay attention in class, this is class should mostly be a breeze. It's really enjoyable, and if I could take it for the first time again, I would as well.

Really enjoyable class with great, relevant artwork and movements. Her lectures were engaging and covered a lot of material in one semester. Class was not very test-based, more weekly writings and essays. Took this class on zoom but did not feel like a significant amount of work for a 4 credit class. I am not an art major / minor but was just genuinely interested in learning more about modern art styles and analyzing them in the context of history and social sciences and this class was a great fit. #tCFF23
