Marguerite Lenius

there was lots of reading, good content, there was a good bit of writing, need to plan week well around this class, would recommend, professor lenius is so enthusiastic and makes you care to learn, you can skim some readings but there are discussions so you need to read

I did not enjoy this course very much because, as an introductory course, it aimed to teach us about every type of art history, but not much about each at all. We would have weekly visiting professors give 2-day lectures about their specialty, but it was almost too much material to cover, so it was very fast-paced and surface-level. We had three exams, each covering over a month of material, but the actual exam would only show four pieces of artwork and vocabulary. I would have enjoyed this class much more if, instead of the large exams, we had smaller quizzes or worksheets on each of the weekly lectures.

I really enjoyed this class, and Professor Lenius’s enthusiasm for the subject made it fun to learn. The readings were interesting and gave a lot of different perspectives, and I especially liked the final project. At times I thought the class could have been a bit more organized, particularly with discussions, but overall it was a great experience.
