ARTS 1105: Understanding Visual Culture
Exam III Study Guide, Spring 2010
Elissa Auerbach
Exam date and time: May 4, 8:00-10:45 am
Required at the exam: A pen or pencil and yourself
Material covered in the exam: All assigned readings, lectures and class discussion covered
since the last exam.
If you miss the exam: Please review the policies regarding excused absences from
the exam in the syllabus and discuss your absence with me
immediately.
First, a few tips:
1. If you have missed any class sessions, I encourage you to borrow high-quality notes from
several students in your class. The majority of the exam questions will be based on
information covered in class lectures and discussions, so it is essential that you have very
good notes from which to study in order to pass the exam.
2. Use the message board to obtain notes from your classmates, arrange study groups, or
study with one another in the board itself.
3. Use flash cards to prepare for your exam. Use the model flashcard in Ning entitled
“Sample Flashcard for Exams.” To prepare your cards, follow these directions exactly as
follows:
• Make individual flash cards for every artistic/historical period, major event, artist, artistic
style, term, art object, etc., for which you are responsible.
• When making cards for the art objects, quickly sketch the image of the work on one side
of the card. Sketching helps the brain mentally record the image better than it can a
photocopied image, for example. The sketch should not be elaborate -- just a stick figure
or enough so that you know what the object is and an unusual detail you see in the object
to help you differentiate it from others. The simpler, the better. Do not put any other
information on the side of the card with your sketch. Use the model entitled “Sample
Flashcard” that is posted in “Files” in Ning.
• On the other side of the card, write down all pertinent information to that image (i.e.,
artist, title, artistic period, medium, major formal characteristics, important cultural
references, explanation of the subject matter, etc.).
• Use only key words for this information and try to arrange the words in bullet points so
you can quickly glance at the image and then flip your card over to read the points you

  • Use only key words for this information and try to arrange the words in bullet points so you can quickly glance at the image and then flip your card over to read the points you

listed on the back side without being burdened with full sentences and wordy explanations.

  • If you are adventurous enough to try this technique, you should have a thick stack of cards by the time you are done (and then some!). If you have utilized high-quality notes and your readings to properly prepare the cards and you’ve memorized all of the information you’ve written on your cards before the exam, you will quite likely do VERY well on your exam.
