Nasher Museum at Duke University
For this discussion-based class, participation is encouraged. We will practice good Zoom etiquette and allow all students the opportunity to make observations and ask questions. I encouraging you to make use of the Nasher website for further information on the pieces from the museum's collection. Although there is no required text for this class, you may wish to purchase a copy of one of the art history survey books. General art history books by Gardner, Stokstad or Janson are all good choices. Second-hand copies are significantly discounted. I will occasionally suggest other readings.
