Art & Society I: From Caves to Cathedrals

Three credits · Undergraduate

Long before human beings developed written language, we were making works of art. This introductory survey examines art and architecture within the intellectual and social contexts of their historical production. It provides a working knowledge of the history of art from prehistory through Classical Greece and Rome, to the great cathedrals of the Medieval period. Students will begin to develop critical tools for studying visual culture and achieve a deeper understanding of cultural history. Three credits.
