How to Use this Site
Welcome to “Art History Unstuffed.”
“Art History Unstuffed” is designed for serious students of art history, seeking to supplement current course work and/or to augment current knowledge. This site has been developed specifically for the internet, providing discrete objects of knowledge. By separating the traditional art history course into segments, the site allows the client to easily find only what s/he wants, without having to search through an entire book. “Art History Unstuffed” is an anti-textbook, thicker and chunkier than the traditional all-inclusive text. Unlimited by physical space that hampers an old-school text, or time, which constrains the lecturer in the classroom, the site allows for an infinite number of “learning objects” or information units available for convenient consumption.
“Art History UnStuffed” does not attempt to constitute an entire course—that would be following a Twentieth Century model. In the Twenty-First Century, the student of art history expects to garner information from a number of sources, and, like a bricoleur, assembles numerous texts. This is how we learn today, in mosaic fashion. The author of “Art History Unstuffed” has synthesized numerous respected sources to compose a summary of each topic. Some of these sources will be provided in bibliographies which present classic or primary sources, a selection standard secondary sources, and, most importantly for this site, up-to-date, Twenty-First Century discussions of the areas presented here. The material will be presented in self-contained units which can be collected by the reader according to the reader’s interest and need. Some of the chapters are in a text form, others are delivered as a podcast, written and read by the author. You may subscribe to the texts and podcasts which are delivered every week and every other week, respectively. If you find this material helpful, please remember to credit the author and this website. Thank you very much.
All areas are constantly being added to.
