Discover the fascinating world of art history from Prehistory to the Early Renaissance. Understand ancient non-western art and develop a keen sensitivity for art across cultures.
This course is like your art history buddy, guiding you through the canvas of time from ancient to Renaissance art. Get ready to learn all the cool stuff about art without any of the confusing academic mumbo jumbo!
This is an actual college level course that is taught at several accredited colleges.
The history of art from Prehistory to the Early Renaissance
This is part one of a year-long college-level survey course in art history. This course covers art history from the Prehistoric Era to the beginning of the European Renaissance.
This course also covers ancient non western art in the Americas, Asia, and Africa.
This course is designed as a basic college-level survey of art history. I provide an online textbook as well as study guides and worksheets. This course covers the language used to discuss art. A complete overview of art, culture, and architecture.
Each work is covered in depth, the works physical or formal properties are discussed such as technology used to create the work, color, medium, materials, composition, and shading.
The symbolism of each work is discussed and how to interpret the interrelationship of symbols in a work of art.Â
This course is the actual content of a course I taught at an accredited college in California called Ohlone college.
I designed this course as a series of clear, non-jargon laden video lectures and texts designed to help any student who wants to pass AP art history and or any beginning level art history survey course.

Hi! I'm Kenney Mencher. I am a semi retired professor of Art and Art History from Ohlone College in Fremont. (Now I'm a full time artist and I occasionally teach part time.) My lecture style is casual and clear. I don't believe in using a lot of jargon or overly complicated language. Here's the rest of the stuff you might...
good

Learned very much. I love the structured concepts introduced and expanded on. Good delivery by teacher as well.

it was great to learn about the Southwestern Native American Art.
Yes, i am enjoying the course very much. The lecturer speaks clearly and the examples shown on screen are relevant and very helpful. Looking forward to the next chapter.
I enjoyed this introduction lecture enough to keep going! I already feel like I will be able to appreciate Neolithic art more after watching!

In general this instructor has a firm command of this subject matter. Unfortunately, I found the delivery quite lacking. Particularly, the voice and sound quality are in need of an upgrade. Check out unit 42 titled Classical Greek Sculpture into the Late Hellenistic Phase as an example. Very annoying at times. Amateurish.
