AHIST 1401 LEARNING JOURNAL UNIT 6 2 Unit 6 Learning Journal – Artistic Styles today The Learning Journal is a tool for self-reflection on the learning process. In addition to completing directed tasks, you should use the Learning Journal to document your activities, record problems you may have encountered and to draft answers for Discussion Forums and Assignments. The Learning Journal should be updated regularly (on a weekly basis), as the learning journals will be assessed as part of your Final Grade. The Royal Academy in France (as well as its counterpart in Great Britain) essentially set the standards of taste and style in art from the mid-1600s through the 1800s.Think about who or what sets artistic styles and tastes today. Are there a select few authorities or institutions whose opinions are respected? Or, is art more democratically produced?
