Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an A- Anonymous 12/13/2022	Colantuono was a decent professor with a lot of insight in to the world of Art History. The lectures were interesting for the most part, but I feel like there wasn't enough time to dive deeper into information on art pieces. I'm an art major and I believe quality over quantity. I would say Colantuono did his best with presenting information on pieces. I did enjoy his class and I would definitely recommend it, however, do not expect an A if you do not study or open your eyes and mind to art.
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/28/2011	There is a LOT of memorization and a LOT of Christianity in this class -- perhaps even more so than in other Art History classes! I don't like either one of those things, but I still enjoyed the class because Dr. Colantuono is such a wonderful professor. His lectures complement the textbook quite beautifully and it's always fascinating to hear him talk. (He is a dynamic speaker and uses just the right amount of humor.) This class has also helped me understand and appreciate literature and philosophy. If you're intellectually curious then you can't do any better than Dr. Colantuono!
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting a B Anonymous 04/28/2011	Professor was enthusiastic and definitally knew the material, but for a CORE HA requirement, I would NOT recommend this class. There is massive amounts of straight up memorization, and overall far too much effort for an HA requirement. For art majors, however, this class was appropriate.
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an A Anonymous 04/09/2010	I like Dr. Colantuono. He talks pretty fast and it is important to take notes during the lectures. So be awake! It is also helpful to read the textbooks because one part of the exams is writing a comparative essay between two given art works. You need to include stuff from both the textbooks and the lectures. It is VERY annoying to memorize all the dates. There are a lot of paintings to remember. But it is an interesting class. I think TA is also important because I think I got A because of the discussion section.
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an A Anonymous 12/09/2009	He is an amazing lecturer really eloquent stuff. its always interesting listening to him talk and he obviously knows art history like the backside of his hand. He'll talk about the history and context behind the painting and then go in to analyzing the painting itself which he'll tie into the philosophy of the artist or art of that time. The class is not too difficult but i though it was interesting which helped. If you go to lecture and take good notes and study before exams you'll do well. Its annoying memorizing dates and patrons and stuff but not too difficult. Besides the exams there are quizzes in discussion and a 3 page paper.
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an A Anonymous 11/06/2008	I disagree with the poster below. Dr. Colantuono was really a really good lecturer and really knew his stuff. He made Art History interesting for someone who only had to take it for an HA. Don't take it for an easy A though...you gotta put in the work, go to class, take notes (all the tests came from lecture, hardly used the book at all), study. There's a quiz in discussion every other week too which is annoying.
Anthony Colantuono ARTH201 Expecting an F Anonymous 04/04/2008	He is a tough cookie. I do not like the his exam style. And he is really specific about his term paper. If you have a great TA then you can probably do well and enjoy the class, I had Adam and he was a jerk unless you talk to him 1 on 1. So... do not take this class unless it is mandatory. And if you do, make sure its Majorie Venit or ... anyone but this dude!
