Making art history relevant is a common struggle in the art room, and navigating to find pertinent art history resources can feel like an overwhelming task for art teachers. In this course, participants will examine artists, analyze historical events, and make cultural observations in order to build a repertoire of personalized strategies and teaching materials and heighten the rigor and relevance of art history in the classroom.

Note: Credits earned cannot be applied to the Master of Arts in Art Education degree program requirements if ART517 was previously taken for credit.
