Western art from the Renaissance through Modern periods, demonstrating the relationship of various visual art forms to each other and to the cultural context in which they were produced.
Welcome to the Wikipedia Project's timeline! This page will guide you through the project requirements for AHIS 5. Your 6-week project will be completed at home, outside of our regularly scheduled class sessions.
This semester, we have been analyzing how traditional narratives of art history often marginalize women artists, artists of color, and LGBTQ+ artists (among others). The purpose of our project is therefore to improve Wikipedia's content by adding well-researched, well-documented information on artists who may have been excluded or overlooked.
This week, you will begin to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia and our course project. To earn points for Week 6:
This week, you will select a woman artist, artist of color, or LGBTQ+ artist on which to base your project. Remember that these underrepresented groups are often left out of art historical narratives, so the purpose of this project is to improve and expand Wikipedia's content. To earn points for Week 7:
Each artist may only be chosen once, so I recommend browsing your classmates' selections before making your own. If you select an artist whom one of your classmates has already chosen, you will be asked to pick someone else.
