Recently, Thames & Hudson surveyed a group of art history instructors on the skills their students found most challenging. Based on the results of that survey, we’ve developed a series of workshops to discuss methods for addressing those challenges. Each one-hour workshop will be hosted by a Thames & Hudson author, who will discuss strategies that can be employed in the classroom and features from our texts that can be utilized to support the development of these skills. After the workshop, attendees will receive access to an assignment from one of our texts that they can try out in their classes.

Comparative and visual analysis are an integral part of the art history survey, but for many students these are skills they're learning about for the first time. In this workshop, History of Art co-author Allison Lee Palmer (University of Oklahoma) will discuss methods and strategies for making these skills accessible to students, and will highlight how pedagogical features in The History of Art: A Global View and tools like InQuizitive can support the development of these skills.
