  • Art history is much more than names, dates, and creepy babies. It helps us understand how history itself gets constructed and told. In this episode of Crash Course Art History, we’ll learn how interpreting artwork reveals connections among all of us, across cultures and across time.

    What Is Art History? 01:33
    The Medicis & Giorgio Vasari 03:17

    “Art helps us understand History as a constructed account” is such an important idea to grapple with!! So many people people treat history as the Truth™️ Can’t wait for this series and glad to see that Sarah Urist Green is hosting it!!

    I'm so emotional over this whole series: Sarah Urist Green hosting, the new canon, the recognition of the value of art and history. I'm still crying

    I keep rewatching Art Assignment videos because of how well they are made and because I always pickup something on the rewatch.
    I'm very happy to see SUG hosting again, looking forward to this series!

  • @AnotherGradus
    @AnotherGradus Před měsícem +13

    A superb approach to Art History-- continuing the Gombrich-aligned "Art History is History" only with more Sontag, Lippard, and Greenberg type criticisms.

  • @rolandtowen2595

    Love love love this series! Would love to see a music history and/or music theory series in the future

  • @Beryllahawk
    @Beryllahawk Před měsícem +10

    Off to a great start! I am loving the way you've framed the concepts, placing them inside familiar language for the younger folks. I'm "old," and terms like "influencer" and "sponsored content" are sensible but not familiar in the same way. So with one choice in phrasing you're not only connecting us to the past, the history that was - but to each other and the history that's Now. VERY impressed and looking forward to the next episode!!!

  • @AlexAzureOtaku

    Hearing about the journey to the microcosmos ending because of lack of views has made me more diligent in ensuring the channels I like get all the engagement I can provide, more than ever. Thanks Sarah and team. Looking forward to this series

    as an artist who's never actually gotten to take a general art history class i've been SO hyped for this crash course. Art history is one of the few things i've had a hard time finding here on the youtube. just getting started but ready to learn!!!!

  • @queenofhades46

    @KelsieJG__they-them Před měsícem +1

    I'm so excited for this series!! I studied art (including a couple art history classes) in high school and undergrad, but that was over a decade ago (I ultimately followed my true passion, which is a career in biology). I'm looking forward to refreshers on things I've forgotten as well as learning tons of new stuff.

    @mattkuhn6634 Před měsícem

    I’m excited for this series! It was the anthropological aspect of particularly ancient art history that first broke through for me and got me to appreciate art history as something other than just “weirdly long-limbed babies” as you aptly put it

    I'm so excited for this course, and Sarah is the perfect person to present it! I minored in art in college way back when and therefore got the standard art history treatment, but this is going to be so much more well rounded. I've already learned so much from The Art Assignment!

  • @bjzaba
    @bjzaba Před měsícem

    Brilliant.

    Perfect timing, I just got out of my Roman art and architecture class! I'm really excited for this course, I've been hoping for it for years and years! I was able to catch a Mesoamerican art history class, but I missed that same professor's class on African art because she retired! I'm studying at a STEM school, meaning our art history department is a little small, so I'm looking forward to learning about the art history I missed out on!
