Albright-Knox Gallery Visit (Reading Week)



I am now working on fixing a date for an Albright-Knox Gallery visit during reading week (Feb 16 - 22). The exhibition, Anselm Kiefer: Beyond Landscape is currently on display and features three large-scale works by this important, German artist. If you think you might be interested in going please let me know (pm or email). I am working on keeping the costs to a minimum. Currently, I estimate that this will cost about $20 per person if we have a group of 10 travelling in cars. I will need drivers so if you have a vehicle and you can carry a few people let me know asap (gdavies@mcmaster.ca).

Course Instructor: Greg Davies                                 
Office: TSH 429 
Office hours: Monday, 11:30 am -12:30 pm., or by appointment

Instructor’s Blog: http://acabinetofcuriosities1.blogspot.com

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will explore connoisseurship and its importance to the study of art history. Class meetings will focus upon issues such as attribution, formal evaluation, provenance and observational methods and skills through group discussion and direct observation of original works within the collections of the McMaster Museum of Art. Course work will require students to practice their visual skills and discuss their findings before their peers.

 COURSE TEXTS: Students are not required to purchase books for this course. Instead each student will be required to select a reading to correspond with her or his seminar presentation. This reading must be identified in the student’s seminar presentation  proposal and meet with the approval of the course instructor before distribution to the class. Familiarity with the selected reading material will be essential for all students.

BLOG: Additional information on the course and lecture material may occasionally be posted on the instructor’s blog located at the following link:  http://acabinetofcuriosities1.blogspot.com

COURSE EVALUATION:  The final grade for this course will derive from three pieces of work and a participation mark. There will be one short, seminar presentation proposal (2 double-spaced pages), one seminar presentation (15 minutes with a question and answer period) and a short written report on your visual observations at the McMaster Museum session on February 11. The marking scheme for each is listed below.

Participation:  20%*
Seminar presentation proposal (2 double-spaced pages):  20%   (DUE IN CLASS FEB. 11)
Seminar presentation (20 minutes in length):  40%                           (DATE TO BE SELECTED IN CLASS)
Short written report:  20%                                                                           (DUE IN CLASS FEB. 25)

The requirements for each will be discussed during the first two weeks of class. Please be aware that a guideline for the course work (including information on late penalties and the correct procedures for submission), will be posted on the instructor’s blog by January 14, 2014.

*The participation mark will be based upon the weekly involvement of the student in-class discussions . ALL STUDENTS ARE EXPECTED TO REGULARLY PARTICIPATE IN CLASS DISCUSSIONS.

Note:  The instructor and university reserve the right to modify elements of the course during the term. The university may change the dates and deadlines for any or all courses in extreme circumstances. If either type of modification becomes necessary, reasonable notice and communication with the students will be given with explanation and the opportunity to comment on changes. It is the responsibility of the student to check their McMaster email and course websites weekly during the term and to note any changes.

ON ACADEMIC DISHONESTY:  Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g., the grade of zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: “Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty”), and / or suspension or expulsion from the university.
It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy (senate Policy Statements), specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca

The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:

1. Plagiarism, e.g., the submission of work that is not one’s own or for which other credit has been obtained.

2. Improper collaboration in group work.

3. Copying using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.

Please note the following statement from the Office of Academic Integrity:
McMaster University has purchased Turnitin.com, which is a detection service. Students submit their assignment/work electronically to Turnitin.com where it is checked against the internet, published
works and Turnitin’s database for similar or identical work. If Turnitin finds similar or identical work that has not been properly cited, a report is sent to the instructor showing the student’s work and the original source. The instructor reviews what Turnitin has found and then determines if he/she thinks there is a problem with the work.

Written work submitted in this course may be subject to review using Turnitin.com

POLICIES ON EMAIL COMMUNICATION, LATE AND / OR MISSED WORK:

EMAIL COMMUNICATION:  It is now the policy of the School of the Arts that all email communication between students and instructors must originate from their official McMaster accounts. This policy protects the confidentiality and sensitivity of info and confirms the identity of both parties. SOTA instructors will delete messages that do not originate from McMaster University email accounts.

LATE AND / OR MISSED WORK: It is the responsibility of each student to attend tests and exams and meet the requirements of submission for coursework. Missed tests and exams and late papers will automatically be assigned a grade of 0. Exceptions to this policy will only be made in the specific instances outlined below (see MSAF and Permission to use MSAF ), and only when met by approval from the Faculty/Program office and course instructor.

In the event of an illness or injury a student must complete a McMaster Student Absence Form online.

•             The maximum course value of the missed work for which the MSAF can be used is 29%.

•             The MSAF can only be used by a student once per term. The on-line 2011-12 Undergraduate
Calendar will be updated to reflect this.

•             'Personal Reasons' are not a valid reason for using the MSAF.

•             The e-mail message that goes to students following their submission of the MSAF will clearly describe the steps that students must take to receive relief for the missed work, and the timelines for doing so.

Note that the MSAF is only available to undergraduate students whose absence is 5 days or less in duration

Please note: As of September 2011, students will be required to visit their Faculty/Program Office and complete a Permission to use MSAF form, for the following reasons:

•             The request for relief for missed academic work is personal.

•             The request for relief for missed academic work is religious.

•             A component of work they have missed is valued at more than 29%.

•             They have already used the MSAF once in the Term.
Such students may be asked by their Faculty/Program Office to provide appropriate supporting
documentation. If the student’s request to use the MSAF is approved, the MSAF link will be made available (on a one-time basis) to the student.

CENTRE FOR STUDENT DEVELOPMENT: Students who are experiencing (or anticipate) personal or academic difficulties (e.g., time management problems, language and / or writing challenges, undue personal stress, critical family issues, etc.) during the course of the semester are urged to consult with a counselor at the Centre for Student Development (CSD).

McMaster University

ITALIAN PAINTING & SCULPTURE, 1400-1580
ART HIST 3I03, Term II, 2014
                                                            MANNERISM

Lectures: Monday (3:30-4:20), Tuesday (4:30-5:20) & Thursday (3:30-4:20)
Location: TSH B106
Course Instructor: Greg Davies                         
Email: gdavies@mcmaster.ca    
Office: TSH 429
Office hours: Monday:  1:30 – 2:30 pm., or by appointment

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The word ‘Mannerism’, which is generally applied to the art produced in Italy after the High Renaissance and prior to the Baroque, will be familiar to students who have taken an introductory course in Renaissance art. While ‘Mannerism’ may be used to identify a broad spectrum of work produced over at least sixty years (ca. 1520-1580), the attention given to this art in survey courses is often slight. This course is designed to allow students to expand their knowledge of this important chapter in the history of western art.

COURSE TEXTS:  

Walter Friedlaender, Mannerism and Anti-Mannerism in Italian Painting, (New York, 1990).

In addition to the course text indicated above there will be a range of required readings on reserve at Mills Library. These will be made available through two-hour loan and are indicated on your reading list below.

INSTRUCTOR’S BLOG: Additional information on the course and lecture material will occasionally be posted on the instructor’s blog located at the following link:  http://acabinetofcuriosities1.blogspot.com .Students should make use of the blog as the course progresses.

COURSE EVALUATION:  The final grade for this course will derive from three pieces of work. There will be one test, one written assignment and a take-home examination. The marking scheme for each is listed below:

Test: 25%                                 (in class, Feb. 10)                     
Assignment: 35%                      (due in class, March 10)
Take-Home Exam: 40%                        (due in class, April 1)

The requirements for each will be discussed in class. Information on submission procedures and late penalties for assignments will be provided with the assignment outline.

Please note: In accordance with the “Senate Resolution on Course Outlines” the instructor reserves the right to make changes in the course warranted by developments that may occur as the course unfolds, with reasonable notice to students enrolled.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This course will focus upon the Baroque art and architecture of Italy, Flanders, Spain, France and the Dutch Republic from the years spanning the close of the 16th century through the 1600s. As we progress through this survey we will attempt to refine our understanding of what constitutes the Baroque. What does this term mean? What are its origins and how has the word conditioned our understanding of the visual forms associated with it? In the course of this enquiry we will also consider the social and cultural forces that helped shape the art of the 17th century. This will entail discussion of the religious, political, economic and intellectual contexts in which artists and the visual arts flourished.
