up next on artwhat

alright, my summer break comes to a close in around two weeks so it’s time to attend to artwhat again. 

what you see here is the entirety of my notes from western art ii, which covered the early renaissance to modern day. in the next few weeks, i’ll be dumping all my notes from western art i, starting with paleolithic europe, just so the complete, broad picture is out there. 

i’m starting on my major once the fall semester starts up, so what i’ll be posting will be pretty narrow from then on. in the next few months i’ll be dumping all my renaissance history notes, and who knows what class i’ll get into next semester. 

enjoy!

during my first ever survey of western art class, my professor explained the difference between historians and art historians. historians, she said, were interested in old things. art historians, on the other hand, were interested in old things of quality. you don't hang garbage up on the walls of a museum; it has to be substantial and it has to mean something. so here you go; old things, made mostly by dudes long dead, of debatable degrees of quality but always with a constant level of importance. think of this as a deck of flash cards... sans the whole cards part.
