At P2PU, people work together to learn a particular topic by completing tasks, assessing individual and group work, and providing constructive feedback.
This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.
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.

Your responses are confidential and we'd really appreciate your thoughts. Many thanks!
posted message: In response to Kevin and Sebastien: Thanks for your feedback on the course. Very helpful! Kevin, I wanted to let you know that I'll be available to continue to discuss with you through Wednesday, if you like. (I leave early Thursday for vacation.) Should any or all of you want to do as Sebastien suggested, however, by all means keep going or re-cover the material. In sum: I'll be available to wrap things up through Wednesday, but if you all want to do something more in depth, please feel free to take over and continue the discussion!
posted message: Anyone want to keep going for a little longer? I find I had trouble keeping up with the suggested schedule, but I've already gotten a lot from what we've covered. Before this, I had never become very familiar with any area of art history. Would love to keep talking about some of this stuff for a couple more weeks, if anyone is interested?
posted message: Hi group. I'm sorry nobody was able to chat with me today, but I wanted to say how much I've enjoyed facilitating this group. Some of you have made great contributions to the discussion and it's been a real pleasure! I hope you will (if you haven't already) take the final exam to get a sense of how well you've mastered the topics we've covered. And we can continue discussing over the weekend and into early next week if you like. Please follow up with any last-minute questions or comments and we can wrap things up. I'm more than happy to continue discussing with you all!
Happy weekend,
LL
