The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the discipline of art history together with interdisciplinary theories and methods; to conduct art historical research; to develop skills in critical thinking in response to scholarly literature; and the ability to write clearly and persuasively about art and its context. It is organized around one type of artwork: the costume book. This type of cultural production became a popular genre in the sixteenth century, circulating in manuscript or printed format in the East and West that gave perfect expression to a mutual fascination between cultures. They meant to provide microcosmic and portable representations of faraway peoples. We will consider cultural and socio-political relationships between the East and West through the medium of this object, paying special attention to issues of travel, collecting, and the relationship between text and image, as well as serial and sequential narrative strategies. We will begin by considering the distinctive characteristics of the costume book and its conceptual implications in offering representations of the Other, examining several formats such as printed costume books, mass-produced bazaar images for foreign consumption, and private costume album. We will address their compilers and patrons as curators in charge of selecting, classifying and interpreting iconographic diversity.

Welcome to your Wikipedia project's course timeline. This page will guide you through the Wikipedia project for your course. Be sure to check with your instructor to see if there are other pages you should be following as well.
This page breaks down writing a Wikipedia article into a series of steps, or milestones. These steps include online trainings to help you get started on Wikipedia.
