November 2012 Last class Review Exam Prep.

The review slides and notes are meant to help you study, since you need to know something about objects in order to identify them. You cannot learn the history of art by memorizing random facts, and the comparisons on the slides and the notes will help you understand relationships, consistent themes, and significant changes in history. I am trying to get you to understand the “Big Picture” and how objects fit into it. Please do not think that the exam is going to contain all the images or that these are the only images on the exam. They are to help you learn to study.

There will be about questions. About will be questions about the slides – artists if known, stylistic period, medium, subject, approximate date, purpose of the object, various terms

30% of the exam will concern material covered before the midterm. You will need to be able to identify objects by their civilization prior to the Greeks. About 10 Slides and about 4 or 5 questions concerning very basic facts. You will need to understand basic facts about Greek and Roman art and architecture. Know basic architectural terminology. About 10 questions/slides. You will need to know general dates for some of the stylistic periods, both those before and after the midterm. Know about the evolution of architecture during the Middle Ages. Know the basic differences between Romanesque and Gothic and between Italian and French buildings

The rest will focus on art we have studied since the mid-term. Weeks 8-12 Don’t forget: Know what was occurring in representational art during the Middle Ages. Some of this is we covered first before the test, but you need to understand significant relationships to later work. Know how Roman art influenced later periods, and why
