ARTH472 Ecuador: Andean Spaces-Traversing the Colonial City and the Natural World (3 Credits)

Introduces students to the history and cultures of Ecuador from the colonial period to the beginning of the 19th century. By studying the socio-spatial configuration of the colonial city as exemplified by Quito, students will be immersed in the art, architecture, and other rich cultural legacies of Ecuador. Quito, a World Heritage site, offers students visually stunning churches, monasteries, colonial squares, a famed tradition of Baroque painting and sculptures, and vibrant indigenous and mestizo communities. As a contrast, students will explore also travel narratives that represent the natural Andean world while visiting Quito's surrounding areas. This course will interrogate the European influence on urban design and representations of the landscape of the Americas. Understanding this colonial past enhances the understanding of the modern history of the Andean region and Latin America as a whole. The students will gain a full appreciation of the European and Indigenous living heritage that composes the region today. Taught in English.

ARTH698 Teaching Art History (1-3 Credits)

Allows students to explore pedagogical tools and methods in the history of art and archaeology, with a goal to becoming better instructors in the field. Starting with the basics of being a good TA (discussion of texts, teaching visual analysis, grading assignments), it moves on through questions of research and project-based teaching, lecturing, and the creation of an inclusive and equitable classroom. Students are asked to design a class they could teach, including a syllabus and assignment prompts. They will also learn how to deliver a lecture (in class, at a conference) and will explore the job market (academic and non-academic) for art historians and archaeologists. The class is recommended for students who have served once as a TA and taken the basic "TA Training" workshops.

Repeatable to: 3 credits.
