American History

American Art History

NO DOWN PAYMENT

DO NOT DISTURB IF NOT GOOD IN ART HISTORY

I am also looking for a long-term teacher to help completing works in these 6 months

The course is about the history of American art from the first European colonies to World War II.

Works will be included immediate response with accurate non-plagiarized short answers and discussions.

1) Define Art

My Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary defines art as "the conscious use of skill and creative imagination especially in the production of aesthetic objects."   How do you define art and who determines what is and is not art? I'll ask you this question again in the last discussion to see if your ideas have changed at all over the course of the semester.

2) Name an American Artist

When I ask students in a classroom if they can name an American artists often less than half will raise their hands.   Why do you think this is?  Those who can name an American artist usually mention a 20th century figure such as Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol, or Georgia O'Keeffe.  Why would 20th century America artists be our best known?
