Art Foundations II

This comprehensive online art history course, instructed by Mrs. Elizabeth Lindee, delves into the relationship between art and ideas from the Early Renaissance to the Enlightenment. It explores the evolution of visual arts—focusing on architecture, sculpture, and painting—through a close study of select master artists and their works. The course not only provides an overview of art history but also deep dives into art theory and criticism to understand the rhetorical devices employed by artists to communicate ideas during the Renaissance and Reformation periods.Students will examine how historical events and cultural shifts influenced art, and how art, in turn, has preserved and passed on these ideas.
