- ARTH 1101A Art & Society: Renaissance to the Present – May-June
-
- PROFESSOR: Sheena Ellison

Students will gain an understanding of the language of architecture and its evolution, through a diversity of programs and typologies, as well as the technology that made them possible. The course will explore the following themes: the architecture of faith and power, image and representation, the role of architecture, the geometrization of space, rationalism and mechanization, eclecticism, resistance movements, form and function, globalization and formal experimentation.

This introductory survey course will focus on visual production in Canada from 1850 to 1989. While we will address canonical artworks that shaped early understandings of Canadian identity, we will also highlight the contributions of artists who have been on the margins of the canon in order to expand and destabilize it. We will consider painting, sculpture, installation art, conceptual art, textiles, photography, and video art made by Indigenous and non-Indigenous artists. At the end of the course, students will be familiar with the diverse breadth of art created in Canada. They will be able to visually analyze and consider artworks in their respective social, political, and cultural contexts using art historical language, terminology, and methodology.

- ARTH 2310A Architecture of the Early Modern World (1400-1750) – Fall
-
- PROFESSOR: Yelda Nasifoglu
- DESCRIPTION: This course is an examination of architecture from the late medieval period to the 18th century with a focus on the European and Islamic worlds and their cross-cultural interactions with the world. The early modern period, spanning roughly between 1400 and 1750, was a transformative era for the development of architecture in our contemporary sense. This was a time of increased exchanges between Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, with complex results that included colonialism and attempts at socio-cultural and religious conversion. It saw the development of the Renaissance and competing geographical interpretations of ancient cultures, the explosive influence of print culture, the Scientific Revolution, and the rise of epistolary dissemination of ideas. Architecture was both influenced by these developments and became a vehicle for their growth and dramatic expansion. Taking on an interdisciplinary approach, this course will explore the development of architectural ideas and practices across diverse cultural and geographical landscapes. It will draw on the literary, material, and visual cultures of the period, along with buildings and infrastructure, to offer a critical and cross-cultural learning experience to the students

- ARTH 4610A Topics in Modern Architecture and Design: Arte/facts of Design History – Fall
-
- PROFESSOR: Michael Windover
- DESCRIPTION: Artefacts provide evidence for design historians and can be used to help narrate histories. They can prompt us to think about design, use, manufacture, consumption, the various spaces they have inhabited over their lives, and the way they communicate. This seminar will consider how artefacts (or design objects) can contribute to histories of design in Canada. We will work directly with the “xDX collection,” a group of artefacts once held by the Design Exchange (DX), an institution dedicated to promoting design in Canada but which ceased museum operations in 2019. What stories can these objects tell us? Students will have opportunities to carry out hands-on, object-oriented research, visit archives, and engage with professionals in the field.
- METHOD OF EVALUATION: TBA (Students may produce exhibits and/or annotated 3-D images of objects, in addition to more traditional academic work)

- ARTH 4809A Topics in Art History: Semiotics and Reception in Art History – Fall

This course will consist of a series of investigations into pertinent theoretical issues with specific attention paid to how these apply to our own experiences and understanding of works of art. Over the semester, students will develop a theoretical analysis of an artwork of interest to them around themes of signification, reception, and the resulting problematics. The critical value of these tools rests in the ability to inform almost any Art Historical context, and there is no better demonstration of this then to experience it directly.
- METHOD OF EVALUATION: Research project (60%), article discussions (20%), participation (20%).
- READINGS: Selection of online articles and book excerpts
- ARTH 4809C Topics in Art History – Winter

Courses in the BA programs
The goals of the majors and honours program in Art History are to give students a thorough knowledge of the history of art, and to engage them critically in the current debates within the discipline and in the humanities in general. Such an education provides students with an awareness and understanding of various cultures as well as an appreciation of cultural difference. It also enables them to think and look critically. Students gain important communication skills, verbal and oral, through exchanging ideas in the classroom and writing research papers.
This training gives students a curiosity for intellectual endeavours, as well as a critical advantage that is necessary for professional life. It also provides them with the communication and research skills that are demanded in a variety of workplaces. Finally, our thorough training in art historical matters enables students to go on to studies at the graduate level, as many of our students do.
