ARTT-104 Art History I
This course provides a survey of visual arts in the Western tradition from prehistory to the late Middle Ages. Students will learn how to analyze and interpret works of art and architecture from the ancient and medieval worlds. The course will examine objects and monuments in their historical contexts, in order to demonstrate how changes in visual culture are linked to political, social, and economic developments. While exploring the symbolic meanings and functions of works from these periods, students will also be encouraged to make connections with our own culture and the ways in which we use visual expression to shape our world.
