Lecture:

(4 Credits)

This course is an introduction to the art and archaeology of the Greek world from 1050 to 480 BCE. While offering a detailed discussion of the urbanism, architecture, and visual arts of this period in their social and cultural context, this course explores critical questions about ancient art: including the birth of monumental architecture, the development of visual narrative, and the agency of images and monuments. The two requirements for the lecture are a final examination, which will encompass the material covered in the entire course, and a fifteen pages paper.
