Personally I found this class to be very interesting and I wish I could take something like it again. At first it felt like lectures were just the prof doing a very "philosophical" and overly in-depth analysis on different artworks but the inclusion of how art was influenced by history made it so much more intriguing. Overall I'd recommend if your interested in art but it'll probably be boing for someone that could care less.

I can see it being very useful for art-related majors but other than that it may not be as useful to engineering/pre-med etc.

Silveri always had great lectures and seemed passionate about what she was teaching. Sometimes she'd talk pretty fast though but probably because she has so much info to cover in just one lecture.

Reading the textbook isn't always required since lectures cover a lot of the main concepts, so attend lectures as much as possible + discussions.

Pay attention to lectures, attendance is mandatory

Memorizing 30 paintings at a time will be the death of me

Did not pay attention at all but she seemed very into it

Coordinate with your friends to alternate taking notes/recording lectures etc. she will not accept what you find online and she will not post the study slides
