Welcome to Art History at Dixie State College

Art History 2

In Art History 2, we will be using Gardner's Art Through the Ages, 13th edition. This is the same textbook that we used in Art History 1. The textbook has an excellent website, which you should use regularly.

Article on Giotto from Oxford Art Online (you will need to use your dixie email username and password if you are accessing this off campus)

Article on the Arnolfini Wedding from Wikipedia

Easy Bib is a great tool to help you make bibliographies using standard formats.

Also, don't forget the OWL at Perdue for lots of tips on citations and footnotes.

Please take a draft of your essay to the Writing Center or email it to them (owl@dixie.edu) for comments.
