Introduction
Elaine M. Richardson, Professor of Art History
Cincinnati State College, Cincinnati, Ohio
The Instructor’s Manual for this sixth edition of Stokstad and Cothren’s Art History
has been thoroughly revised. The chapter outline of the Instructor’s Manual has
been reorganized to include Chapter–at-a-Glance, Learning Objectives, the Image
Transition Guide, Discussion Topics and Critical Thinking Questions, Key Terms, and
Active Learning Assignments. The emphasis on MyArtsLab has been eliminated and
the direction of online sources has been altered. The Discussion Topics and Critical
Thinking Questions, as well as the Active Learning Assignments, are geared toward
engaging students in a face–to–face or online learning environment, including group
work, debate, open activities, and examinations of videos and websites. This
multimedia direction can be used to involve the learner in a range of different
settings and platforms.
The Learning Objectives have been streamlined to maintain consistency from
chapter to chapter and to adhere to Bloom’s taxonomy. They are now focused on
six main points, which include formal and expressive qualities, iconography,
context, vocabulary, historical interpretation, and media analysis.
I have provided four sample syllabi for your use in teaching the course. Which one
you use depends on whether you are teaching art history in two 15–week courses
or in two 10–week courses. Each syllabus offers instructions for students, as well as
the order in which you can present text chapters and assess student knowledge.
