Great course if you are interested in art history- it is taught by rotating professors in the HARC department, which allows you to get a sense of other professors' teaching styles and passions. This being said, the content being out of chronological order was confusing at times, and the course definitely covered a huge range of history. There was a lot of reading, and knowing the main points of the extra articles was essential for doing well on the exams, but if you are interested in the topic, it wasn't too bad. Prof. Lenius was very passionate and patient.

Prof Garrison is very knowledgable about Medieval architecture and there is so much fascinating content to learn on this subject that you don't be bored. But sometimes the course dives too deep into niche scholarship rather than the art/architecture and history itself. Assignments were manageable and graded fairly.
I have mixed feelings about this class. While on one hand, I enjoy working with my hands, I find the class to be tiresome. With projects for nearly every class, and it being self-paced, it is easy to fall behind. What’s more, congestion with the equipment can become an issue, as there is only so much. It is worthwhile if you want a base level of exposure to many ways of creation, but you can also get stuck doing tasks that feel less than exciting. I would recommend this course, but be sure you will enjoy spending 6 hours a week in class.
