ART 120 Art History: Ancient - 13th Century
Art History: Ancient through 13th Century.
The study of art history invites students to discover the diversity in and connections among global forms of artistic expression from history. This semester focuses on global art beginning with the Paleolithic period and extending through the Thirteenth Century. Students gather and exchange knowledge through viewing representative images of art, lectures, reading, discussion, and writing. Students analyze works of visual art in a wide variety of media, developing the vocabulary and conceptual framework that empowers them to explain, interpret, and evaluate art in its context. Students engage with the global art world as active participants as they explore form, content, and styles of art, artists, art making processes, and responses to and interpretations of art. Thus students gain deeper understanding of the universal human quest for meaning as expressed in traditional and changing forms of art through the ages.
