Art history is much more than names, dates, and creepy babies. It helps us understand how history itself gets constructed and told. In this episode of Crash Course Art History, we’ll learn how interpreting artwork reveals connections among all of us, across cultures and across time.

“Art helps us understand History as a constructed account” is such an important idea to grapple with!! So many people people treat history as the Truth™️ Can’t wait for this series and glad to see that Sarah Urist Green is hosting it!!

Off to a great start! I am loving the way you've framed the concepts, placing them inside familiar language for the younger folks. I'm "old," and terms like "influencer" and "sponsored content" are sensible but not familiar in the same way. So with one choice in phrasing you're not only connecting us to the past, the history that was - but to each other and the history that's Now. VERY impressed and looking forward to the next episode!!!

A superb approach to Art History-- continuing the Gombrich-aligned "Art History is History" only with more Sontag, Lippard, and Greenberg type criticisms.

I’m excited for this series! It was the anthropological aspect of particularly ancient art history that first broke through for me and got me to appreciate art history as something other than just “weirdly long-limbed babies” as you aptly put it

I'm so excited for this series!! I studied art (including a couple art history classes) in high school and undergrad, but that was over a decade ago (I ultimately followed my true passion, which is a career in biology). I'm looking forward to refreshers on things I've forgotten as well as learning tons of new stuff.

I'm so excited for this course, and Sarah is the perfect person to present it! I minored in art in college way back when and therefore got the standard art history treatment, but this is going to be so much more well rounded. I've already learned so much from The Art Assignment!

Art history is a subject that would never really dawn on me to look into much. Of course seeing it on the crash course channel has me know relishing the next episode,, a perspective of history of its time. Brilliant.
