How do we understand what we see? What ways of seeing do we engage in and what kinds of questions do we ask when analyzing paintings, buildings, sculptures, ceramics, photographs, or prints? How do we crack the visual codes specific to images, objects, and structures of a given time and place?  In this LLS class, participants will explore various approaches to the interpretation of the visual arts through learning the skills of close visual analysis, using works of art as case studies for understanding the discipline of art history and its methodologies, and viewing on-line and in class art objects from important regional museums:
