ART 104 Chapter Notes - Chapter 2: Santa Barbara City College, David Hockney, Smarthistory
Document Summary
Western art accounts which once featured only white males were updated to include color and female artists. The traditional focus on painting, sculpture, and architecture has been expanded to include so-called minor arts, such as ceramics and textiles, and contemporary media such as video and performance art. Increased interest in non-western art, accelerating dramatically in recent years. Today globalization is the biggest social development facing art history. When our world becomes more interconnected, it is important to have experience with different cultures and facilities with diversity. As the tale of extraordinary objects from a wide range of cultures, art history has a role to play in the production of those skills. Now art historians are debating and exploring how to reconcile the european historical roots of the discipline with its controversial colonialist past with modern multiculturalism and how to write art history in a global age. Videos and articles from smarthistory reflect that history of art history.
