4 credits In this writing-intensive course, we will sharpen our skills at writing and revising academic essays. By breaking down the writing process into its component parts, considering what each step needs in order to be useful, and anticipating the experience of a reader, this class allows students to hone their skills at producing successful academic writing. Along the way, we’ll consider such things as question framing, using outside sources, editing, and other skills necessary to write effectively. This semester, we will read and write about the relationship between language and identity. Students should expect to produce 25 pages of finished writing, through various assignments with multiple revisions.

ARTH 125 Introduction to Modern Architecture

Emily Pugh

. T. Th .

1:00 –2:00 pm

OLIN 102

This course introduces students to the architectural history of the modern era, including styles and movements, major architects and, to a limited degree, methodologies. The course will pay particular attention to the way in which architects have responded to, and participated in, formal and aesthetic developments in other arts as well as broader technological, economic, and social-political transformations. Students will leave the class with a thorough knowledge of the most important stylistic and engineering developments of the 19th and 20th centuries, will have mastered the basic vocabulary of architecture and building, and will have begun to develop their writing skills in relation to not only architectural history, but also visual analysis generally. Course grades will be based on attendance and participation, one short written assignment on visual analysis of architecture, a midterm and a final exam. Open to all students.

This course will explore major currents in European and American art and architecture from the twentieth century. The class is intended to help students acquire a knowledge of major artistic movements and works of this century, together with an awareness of the cultural and social contexts in which they emerged. Additionally, students will develop the analytical and visual skills necessary to interpret and understand the great diversity of works and critical positions that constitute the history of twentieth-century art, as well as the written skills necessary to communicate their own ideas and interpretations of these works. Course grades will be based on attendance and participation, three written assignments (which require some research skills), a midterm and a final exam. Open to all students, with preference given to students who have had prior art history coursework.
