Marking an accomplishment.


I am now a proud graduate of the Smithsonian Associates World Art History program.🎓 To receive a certificate, completion of 4 core classes and 6 electives were required. The core classes took place in multiple sessions over the course of a month averaging 8 hours total, electives were 1-2 hours each. The classes were excellent and I recommend it for anyone interested in Art History. In past posts I’ve mentioned some of the classes, and here’s a list of my entire curriculum:

In-depth studies of works of art:

  • “The Death of Marat” by Jacques-Louis David
  • “Watson & the Shark” by John Singleton Copley (this is my favorite painting — so I made a shirt!)
  • “The Last Judgement” by Michelangelo
Specific periods in the lives of artists:
  • Jacques-Louis David and Napoleon
  • Michelangelo and the Medici Popes
  • Duccio and Giotto: The Dawn of Italian Painting
  • In the Footsteps of Piero della Francesca

General art/architecture:

  • Italian Architecture Through the Ages
  • Italian Renaissance Art
  • Drama Most Splendid: The Art & Architecture of the Baroque & Rococo
  • Enduring Themes in Western Art Part 1
  • Enduring Themes in Western Art Part II
  • Notre Dame: Reconstructing an Icon

This is the certificate they sent me. If you ever want to have a conversation about art history, just say the word! Read about all the Smithsonian programs here.
