Section Information for Spring 2012
This class is designed to introduce the student to the artistic tradition of Western culture from the Stone Age to the Gothic period, presenting development of style and theme in the primary artistic media (sculpture, architecture, and painting) and minor arts (metalwork, cameo). We will focus on pieces that exemplify each period, practicing detailed visual readings in order to better understand their function within the original culture’s context as well as the impact which they have had on modern Western European and American artistic ideals. This is a very detail oriented class, and students will be responsible for specific information regarding the material under discussion. Furthermore, attendance is vital: missing even a single class will put you at a disadvantage since lectures include material not in the textbook but for which the student is responsible on the exams. ARTH 200 is approved to fulfill the University Arts general education credit.View 1 Other Section of this Course in this Semester »
