This course examines the history of art through some of its strangest images, including spatial illusions, chance images, hidden faces and monsters, reversible images, caricatures and others. Primarily focused on the early modern period (1400-1750), we also consider similar experiments from other cultures.

CollegeHe was a great professor, always there to help any student in need no matter what their question was he was there to provide feedback give the best help possible ! Homework was very straight forward and was very easy if you pay attention.
An easy A. Cares about his students' progress, and super kind.
Really great content. Weekly readings are assigned but not required before every lecture, they're spread out more. Super lecture heavy; everything he says during lecture is important so expect it to show up on the tests. Only one midterm and final, no assignments. The test formatting was vocab, memorizing artist title and dates and comparing essays
A nice guy, the only things in the gradebook being the midterm, final, and attendance. tests were a little stressful but he was very nice and made them take home and gave us the weekend for them. my only irk is that despite receiving good/great comments on my work, i barely got an A. maybe he's a tough grader? lectures were very interesting as well
The class is based only on a midterm and final. Overall, the professor was accommodating in making the exams take-home and also recording and posting all the lectures. Overall, would recommend.
This whole class was pretty much based only on the lecture notes you take. He only puts up the paintings and some key words on the slides and the rest is all based on what he says (and he talks super fast) so you kind of have to speed write everything down. If you don't take excellent notes you won't do good on the midterm and final.
