Be aware of the insane amount of work in this class!!!! She is also a tough grader!

I absolutely loved this class and professor. If you take this class you must be prepared to memorize over 100 works of art. But the lectures are very engaging and the professor gives life to the works.

One of the best art history professors at UCLA! Prof. Rosenblum is super smart, helpful, and fun to to talk to even outside of the class material. She's one of the younger instructors I've had here, which might be why she was so easy to relate to, but she really understands that her students juggle with a lot of other classwork and structures her class with that in mind. All of our readings were online (no textbook), and the four one-page responses were really just to make sure you understood the material. The take-home midterm is easy if you've listened well enough in class, and the only final she gives is a 6-page research paper due before the last week. The subject itself was also super interesting and covers a wide range of locations and artistic mediums (traditional festivals, ritual art, modern painters/sculptors, and contemporary performance). I liked hearing her talk about Cuban art, which I think is her personal academic focus.
