Utah Valley University
Fall 2020
This is part 1 of my introductory lecture to my ARTH2720 course which covers the second half of art history from the Renaissance to the contemporary period. This introduces the main themes of the course. Part 2 has the boring requirements and assignment stuff. It will be up soon if you are interested.

I spent all day procrastinating doing my own uni work and now at 1am I have decided to watch an entire art history lecture without any problems

I majored in art history almost 30 years ago. It is the best major because you have to learn about the history, religion, culture, etc to put the art into their proper context... plus you get to look and think about art! I found it very useful in my life.

This is exactly what I needed at 12:15 at night :)

I’m not a student of yours but I just wanted to say thank you for posting these lectures- I’m studying to become an art teacher and your videos were so helpful to review for my certification test in art. You have a great sense of humor and made studying so much more enjoyable. Thank you!

I have to do a final exam and i found these classes on youtube. You sir are a damn godsend. The amount of knowledge im gaining is insane. Thank you

I love to travel to Europe and have visited many world-renowned museums. Since now we are in the quarantine, it is a pleasure to refuel and have an organized study. Your lectures brings the textbook alive. It is a corroboration of the art museums and ancient sites I have visited. I have learned so much from the four lectures I have watched, and many more to come. You have explained in a way that layman like me can understand too. Thank you so much and keep up the good work Professor Clark!

Egypt highly influenced the ancient Hellenes, as they frequently admitted, especially in architecture. That’s why it’s part of the Western Canon, Egypt’s influence was spread through the Hellenes, as well as more directly to other Mediterranean cultures. Many other influences came into the Western Canon from the Near East, too.

Thank you so much for posting these videos! I watched your videos before starting my MBA program in Contemporary Art, and I gained so much knowledge on the history of art. I’m back here watching these videos to study for my upcoming exam and oral presentation.

You are literally an amazing person thank you so much. I'm an art major at the University of Montana and although I don't have a lot of time to watch these during the semester as much (now that midterms are over I'm more free) so I plan on binging them during the winter time. They really cheer me up and inform me in such an interesting way 😊

[@arthistorywithtravisleecla6343]

Thank you! I'm glad they help.

Hey Uncle Travis 😊

[@JohnDoe-wg9oh]

Please allow me to refuse memorizing the dates and the chronologies. If you do, I will give you a chance to make me memorize them regardless.

I'm from Hong Kong and I wouldn't necessarily say ALL colonial experiences were bad.

Canons don’t have to be about art, there are biblical canons (for different denominations), just as one example. A canon is a set of accepted forms, rules or guidelines for a specific subject.
