Europe help each other out through imports and exports, making many
goods and services available to everyone. Art is shared throughout Europe
but yet the most distinct and famous artists are from different countries but
give Europe that art identity. Through the topics studied in this course I
believe such a European identity exists.
5. From studying art history I have learned to not judge a book by its cover.
Being in the 21st century, I automatically perceive the painting as how they
are. I learned to think more critically about the artist themselves and what
they were thinking when creating the painting. I learned that there is a lot
more to art than just what I perceive at first glance. Studying art history also
gives me an insight as too what was going on in society when the art was
created. I learned how society was, and the norms were of the time.
I feel that studying art history will be useful to me in the future. Although I
am an accounting student from Canada, studying art history has helped me
learn the back ground and growth of Europe as a whole. Through
understanding the history, I am able to get a better concept as to how things
operate in Europe today and understand the transformation Europe has gone
through over the years. With future hopes of doing business in Europe, this
understanding of Europes history will help me comprehend why certain
things are the way they are.
6. the most interesting period of European art was the 19th century and the
beginning of the modern era. It was the most interesting time period
because it was during this time period when the French Revolution occurred
and in my eyes, there was a big change in society during this century. It was
interesting to learn about the art that portrayed and displayed this time
period through the emotions and expressions from the painters themselves.
The least interesting period to learn about was during the 14th century.
During this time period Religion was the main focal point of art, and the
different ways of portraying Jesus Christ. Although I came from a Catholic
High school in Canada, religion and religious art history did not interest me.
