This group studies Baroque art history of Italy, Spain and the Netherlands.

This study group examines the history of art in three of the most important art-producing centers of the seventeenth century. It follows the first two units of a course available at The Saylor Foundation. By the time we finish this course, we will be familiar with the most important art and artists of Western Baroque art. Familiarity with art history is helpful, but not requried.

The course lasts for four weeks, each week being completed at your own pace. We will respond to the material covered on the course "Activity Wall" and will schedule a weekly chat for more structured discussion time.

Liz Lebrun at Baroque Art of Italy, Spain, and the Netherlands

posted message: Hi all and welcome to week two, when we'll be moving on and taking our first "visit" to a museum, doing a short writing assignment, and then moving on to look at art of the Netherlands. Please note that the writing assignment is simply for your own practice. (Note that on Saylor.org there is a "Guide to Responding" that will help you evaluate your work.) How is everyone progressing? Did you all make it through last week's materials? Unfortunately nobody was able to chat last Friday. I hope you all will arrange a time that works for you, if this continues to be a bad time. I'm available weekdays, and Friday makes the most sense, as by that point we'll have made it through most of the week's materials. Is anyone free Friday afternoon (EST)?

I'm unavailabe from 8:00 - 5:30 EDT. Any other time works for me.

I should be able to make it this Friday, unless I get called in to work again. The shift starts at 4:30, so I am "en route" from 4:00 - 4:30, and then it takes me a few minutes to check on everything before I am free to chat.

So, I'll be there - knock on wood!
