THIS. I absolutely adore art history minus the memorization. I could tell you the influences and meaning behind a specific painting and all the symbolism, possibly who did it, but the exact year and what it was painted on? Fuck if I know. I took AP art history in my senior year in high school a while back. I'm going to be taking it when I start college next fall. I'm thinking of minoring in it actually.
| Um...yeah. High school 'art history' might be a nice introduction to the subject, but really...seriously...university-level Art History is a whole other ball of wax. Why? You're PAYING serious money to learn about contrapposto in Roman statuary viz. a viz. Greek influence circa 140 B.C.E. I could go on, but I suddenly feel light-headed and woozy, and the flashbacks are starting again, and the voice of my old A/H prof. is summoning a response to her questions, re: name/cite etc. etc.

| | | Posted by estherella i am currently taking a course called "contemporary visual culture". although it deals with art from the past five years or so to the present, mostly, it's technically considered an art history course by the university. it's fantastic! i find that traditional art history courses can sometimes be sort of dry, but it also really depends on the professor you get. if you get a really lively prof who is really passionate about art history, it makes the memorizing a lot easier, because the class becomes more animated and interesting, in my opinion.
| The last 5 years...? That's SOOOO cute. But that ain't art history, sister. Go back to when we (species-wise) first started scratching lines on the cave walls, and move forward from that point.

yes, i've taken those courses too. i'm saying that the course i'm taking is classified under "art history" by the university. we also discuss, in said class, how past art and design has influenced the contemporary images we see now/have seen in the past five years. in the second part of my last post i refer to the "traditional" (read: NOT CONTEMPORARY) art history courses...like the ones where we, as a species, started scratching on walls...
| sounds like someone is "Pussy-Whipped"... SuCkEr! i hope you watch "What no to Wear" with you controlling... i mean wife! Tiger UpperCutt!
| They say "you can't judge a book by its cover!" I say "YES you can, if the cover has a girl on it with a cock in her mouth, its PORN!" if she's 18 and the cock is black, its GREAT porn! |
