| Description: | The art and architecture of Venice are inextricably linked to the city's distinct socio-political structure, cultural past and geography. This freshman seminar will consider the arts in Renaissance Venice within the city's unique context. Exploring the influence of the "Myth of Venice", we will examine the styles of painting, sculpture and architecture that were specific to Venice - and very different from contemporaneous developments in Rome or Florence. We will also study the unique physical characteristics of Venice, its economy and society, its political and religious life and cultural culture. We'll also learn about its food and music while we study the magnificent works of its most celebrated artists, Titian, Tintoretto and Veronese, to name a few. The course will address issues such as the family workshop, the introduction of oil paint, the role of Antiquity in a city without ancient ruins, domesticity and the ceiling painting. From the private patronage of its confraternities, or scuole, to public programs sponsored by the Great Council, the course will examine the reflections of the "ideal state" in the art and architecture of the Serenissima, the most serene Republic. Course is for first-year, non-transfer students only. |

| Description: | In this seminar, students will examine how the human body was understood, manipulated, and represented in a variety of ancient American cultures, including the Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Moche, and Inka. Through analysis of various arts (stone sculpture, ceramics, murals, metalwork, textiles, architecture, etc.) and archaeological evidence, we will explore the physical body as locus for culturally specific ideals, political ideologies, and the maintenance of social order. Discussion and scholarly readings will cover topics including facial piercing, cranial modification, bloodletting, costume, gender, and disease. Assignments and class meetings will incorporate multisensory, digital, and active learning methods in recognition of the diverse ways that individuals and ancient cultures accumulated knowledge. The course includes an in-depth research project of an object of the student's choice on view at the Saint Louis Art Museum. No prerequisites. |

| Description: | This seminar examines public monuments in the United States through the lenses of collective memory, identity, and ideology. It surveys an evolving tradition from Americans' early and short-lived reluctance to fund public monuments-John Quincy Adams famously declared that "democracy has no monuments"-up to the recent controversies over Confederate monuments. The course defines "monument" broadly to encompass a range of commemorative forms including traditional structures like statues, arches, and obelisks; utilitarian "living memorials" like parks and libraries; and "countermonuments" that challenge core premises of the monument, such as its fixed meaning and permanence. Readings and class discussions will explore how these projects have shaped Americans' cultural beliefs and social relations, as well as how they failed to achieve consensus or to reconcile the diverse and competing points of view of varied groups and individuals. We will interrogate the impact of monuments on the nation's historically disempowered communities, including African Americans, Native Americans, women, immigrants, and the poor. We will also consider more inclusive modern memorials and evaluate strategies for grappling with outmoded monuments in changing times. This course is for first-year, non-transfer students only. |

| Description: | Iconoclasm, or the destruction of art, raises contentious questions that transcend geographic and temporal boundaries. It can be understood as vandalism, desecration, repression, or erasure, all of which put cultural heritage at risk. But iconoclasm can also be a form of protest or a vehicle for creative expression. By altering existing artworks, it generates new meanings and even new images. In this course we will consider how iconoclasm as a transformative act has marked human history across a range of social, political, and religious contexts. Through an analysis of objects, places, and texts we will conduct an historical examination of practices of image destruction from antiquity to the contemporary world. Students will strengthen their individual ability to think critically and to write persuasively about an issue crucial not only within the field of art history, but in some of the most charged conflicts of our present moment. |
