Colloquia focus on a specific topic (see below) and allow for a more in-depth study of historiography, methodology, and major themes in a particular art-historical field. Students are expected to read, write, and contribute to class discussion. Weekly readings can exceed 100 pages a week. Assignments usually include weekly writing assignments, a 20-30 page paper, and a 30-45 minute presentation. Graduate colloquia typically do not have exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sample-colloquia-topics\">Sample Colloquia Topics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Van Gogh<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bronze Age Arts and Cultures of China<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Performance Art<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Velazquez<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contemporary Art Cinema<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>American Prints<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medieval Reliquaries<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gender in Pre-Columbian Art<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arts and Crafts Movement<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Roman Copies or Greek Sculpture<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medieval Narrative Arts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art of the 1860s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Spirituality in Golden Age Spain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art and Identity in Sixteenth-Century Mexico<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Parthenon and the Athenian Acropolis<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art of the 1950s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>American Art 1900-1945<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Bauhaus<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Problems in Iconography<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Graduate students can take graduate colloquia (700 +) or 300+ lecture courses to satisfy the distribution requirement for the MA Graduate students are required to take at least 18 credits at the 700\/900 level.
