Seminar Description
This chronological survey will examine highlights of art and architecture from the prehistoric through the late medieval era (30,000 BCE through the late fourteenth century). We will discuss the visual properties of works of art and architecture from this period; the materials and techniques used in their production; and the historical, political, social, intellectual, religious, and literary contexts that shaped their creation. By the end of this seminar, students will be acquainted with the essential characteristics of the art and architecture of different periods and will understand the many influences underlying these artistic features.
Five sessions. E - $210, L - $231
