Reviews for Anthony Colantuono
Average Rating:| Anonymous Course: ARTH201 Grade Expected: A April 28, 2011, 2:40 pm | There is a LOT of memorization and a LOT of Christianity in this class -- perhaps even more so than in other Art History classes! I don't like either one of those things, but I still enjoyed the class because Dr. Colantuono is such a wonderful professor. His lectures complement the textbook quite beautifully and it's always fascinating to hear him talk. (He is a dynamic speaker and uses just the right amount of humor.) This class has also helped me understand and appreciate literature and philosophy. If you're intellectually curious then you can't do any better than Dr. Colantuono! |

There is massive amounts of straight up memorization, and overall far too much effort for an HA requirement. For art majors, however, this class was appropriate. |

It is also helpful to read the textbooks because one part of the exams is writing a comparative essay between two given art works. You need to include stuff from both the textbooks and the lectures. It is VERY annoying to memorize all the dates. There are a lot of paintings to remember. But it is an interesting class. I think TA is also important because I think I got A because of the discussion section. |

He'll talk about the history and context behind the painting and then go in to analyzing the painting itself which he'll tie into the philosophy of the artist or art of that time. The class is not too difficult but i though it was interesting which helped. If you go to lecture and take good notes and study before exams you'll do well. Its annoying memorizing dates and patrons and stuff but not too difficult. Besides the exams there are quizzes in discussion and a 3 page paper. |

He made Art History interesting for someone who only had to take it for an HA. Don't take it for an easy A though...you gotta put in the work, go to class, take notes (all the tests came from lecture, hardly used the book at all), study. There's a quiz in discussion every other week too which is annoying. |

If you have a great TA then you can probably do well and enjoy the class, I had Adam and he was a jerk unless you talk to him 1 on 1. So... do not take this class unless it is mandatory. And if you do, make sure its Majorie Venit or ... anyone but this dude! |
