I had considered filtering this post, but it could also be an open debate. Daria, Torunn, and anyone else considering taking or having any interest in art history, what interests you about art and art history? What do you wish to learn? What aspects or themes, across the swath of history we cannot hope to entirely cover in a single course, do you wish to explore? What art do you like today that you would like to see the roots of?

Art has been with us a long time, and though we may only see bits and pieces of the most ancient works here, we can appreciate today the wide array of human creativity. We can see it from the highest masterpieces to book and album covers, even in the graphic design we see all around us.

It was not meant to be. Let me try again. With visual arts, it may be difficult for me to visualize/accurately comprehend a written description of art with different history, development, ideas, etc. However, if I can see it, then I can compare it with other visual art from other worlds.

The second part is that some worlds have some common history (say the United States exists, or the continents have this shape, etc). So some of the development of art may be the same/similar just as the history is.

Hopefully that is more clear. And I will let you know.

	Oh, it was more a commentary on my attention span than your ability to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent)
