Abstract

In the spring of 2000, two colleagues and I were anxious created a virtual tutorial for students taking the Survey of Art History. This course is offered to virtually every incoming freshman at the Fashion Institute of Technology, approximately 1400 students a year. We wanted to focus on a work of art that could be a vehicle for talking about many of the important issues that come up in the course. One of the points that we thought the multimedia environment might demonstrate effectively is that when writing art history, the historian chooses to foreground certain issues and to ignore others. We decided we would demonstrate this by taking one work of art and analyzing it from several perspectives. Surprisingly, although the website we created (which can be seen at http://tcentdev2.itec.suny.edu/fit/efein/ha112_upload/) was designed to enhance face-to-face classes, it has functioned more effectively in online versions of the course.
