The ability to actively participate in class discussions. A curious and questioning mind. A receptiveness to taking risks with your learning. An openness to listening critically to one another, responding positively and constructively, and appreciating the different strengths, experiences and skillsets. In this art history class, the participating students become a community with a shared interest in exploring and discussing ‘big’ questions. Anyone wanting to take this course will need to fully participate in ongoing online discussion, whether through social media type platforms or in the video conference. Discussion is a fundamental part of the course. We will work as a team of art historians to explore those big questions about art. You will also need to have access to a chromebook/netbook/laptop device in and outside of school. iPads are not suitable for the kinds of technology we will use in this class.
