ART101 Art Appreciation

Week 3 Discussion

DQ1 Comparing Regions

Comparing Regions. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Refer to the assigned reading from the textbook and required videos as examples of how to interpret works of art.

In Chapters 19 and 20 of the textbook, the Baroque period is discussed in depth. Within that movement, there were varying implications to the art in regions of Italy, Spain, and Northern Europe.

Examine these three regions during the Baroque period. Using the questions art historians ask and the words that art historians use, what are some key similarities and differences between the three regions in terms of media (materials), methods, and subjects? Why might these differences between regions exist?

Your initial post must be at least 200 words in length.

Review several of your classmates’ posts. By Day 7, provide a substantive response to at least two of your classmates by adding and expanding upon an additional reason these differences may exist that they did not mention. Also, share how differences between regions have impacted art history and the variety of artwork we see today.

DQ2 Regional Characteristics Reflected in Art

Regional Characteristics Reflected in Art. 1st Post Due by Day 3. Refer to the assigned reading from the textbook and required videos as examples of how to interpret works of art.

In the “Comparing Regions” discussion this week, you examined how differences between regions exist and the implications to art created within those regions, specific to the Baroque movement.

Now, select two works, each from different regions within the same time period and movement (other than the Baroque movement).

Below are some examples of regions to explore within a particular movement (choose two regions):

Italy

France

Northern Europe

Spain

United States

Between the two works of art, what similarities and differences do you see in terms of the media (materials), methods, and subjects? Explain how each work of art is reflective of the movement, yet unique to its region.
