Bricks Versus Clicks: Comparing the Actual with the Virtual

Polly Hoover
Wilbur Wright College

Course

The visual arts component of the introduction to the interdisciplinary humanities course, Humanities 123

Description

This module completes the introduction to the Internet for the visual arts component of the interdisciplinary humanities course, and it adds a fieldwork component. Students are asked to compare the experience of viewing an actual artwork with its digital image or a comparable digital work by a similar artist. This module, in particular, attempts to underscore the limitations of digital images and to encourage work with primary material culture.

Transferability

This module would be appropriate for any course that has a visual arts component such as the introduction to the humanities, introduction to art history, and introduction to art appreciation. It would also be appropriate for any history or anthropology/archaeology course that has a material culture component.
