Clear and easy to understand. Little work compared to other art history classes. But a little boring and dry possibly because I am not interested in artworks from 1900-present. Modernism, industrial revolution, urbanism, female painters O'Keeffe, immigration, racism...I feel like intense memorization on these topics is unnecessary.
Took this class to fill a GE requirement and I actually got some what into it. Prof. Robertson is so interested in what he's teaching is hard not to be interested as well. Very nice man and you can tell he wants his student to succeed regardless of their major. Grades lightly on the exams because he realizes we all aren't as enthusiastic about art.
This is such a cool class! There's not a midterm or final, just projects and section assignments. Attendance is not mandatory and you don't use any of the lecture material for anything but I chose to go 95% of the time since it's just a super cool and interesting class. For an art history credit, most definitely take this class.
Loved Dr. Robertson's class. Lectures and readings weren't really important (even though his lectures are interesting and cool); group project worth half your grade that can be fun depending on your group. Robertson was a really personable professor and knows his stuff, highly recommend taking him and/or this class.
Going to lecture and doing the reading isnt really necessary but sometimes he takes attendance. All that matters is section. There are a few p/np assignments, an essay worth 25% and a group project (presentation and essay) worth 50% of your grade. Its a fairly interesting class but if youre not interested in the subject youll be bored.
I took an art history class before and thought it would be interesting to see art from a museum standpoint. Lectures are long and boring and you don't need them at all. No tests, but there is a group project worth 50% of your grade. I would personally rather take the test so I could actually use his lectures. Only take this if it interests you
