From a personal experience on teaching art history, researcher found that in order for learners to understand overall context of art history, one must understand general information such as artists’ biographies, artistic style, formation of artistic idea, together with other surroundings to integrate understandings. Contexts regarding society, government, religion, belief, social value, economic and culture are all very crucial but most learners tend to get loss focus when it came to these aspects. Art history is a subject where the cognitive process involves remembering through understanding, For learner to evaluate tangibly, one needs to connect various dimensions which effect artist; evident, situation, atmosphere, and such. Lack of understanding surrounded context tends to fails recollection on the subject matters. Nowadays, there are various multimedia available to mass audience that potentially help filling in the understanding of art history. This hypothesis is a key for this research to propose approach of understand art history through films.
