Once you purchase the class and fill out THIS REGISTRATION FORM, we will email you the Google Classroom code. That's where you'll find your virtual meeting link, etc. If you register fewer than 24 hours before the first class starts, the class recording will be made available to you. Contact us if you wish to begin later in the semester. 

No textbook required. The instructor will provide all materials. (Nowadays, art history textbooks have a tendency to cut out church history and somewhat demonize western art, and this class will be taught from a Christian perspective.)

Course description:

This class is an overview of the history of art spanning from the cave paintings all the way through the midpoint of art history. We will spend 1-2 weeks in each era.

Assignment expectations: 

Basic essay writing will be a component of this class. (Out-of-class research will be required.) Over the course of twelve weeks, students will complete three or four 2- or 3-paragraph essays, with the final essay focusing on a topic of interest. Homework not to exceed ~2 hours/week.

Individualized private tutoring may be available as an add-on.

All classes meet online; the link will be provided.

No refunds unless the class is canceled. If a student is unable to complete the class for some reason, they will still have access to weekly recordings. :)
