In an image saturated culture, it is important to be able to approach images and the processes of image-making with a discerning eye. In this class you will be introduced to the basics of western art history from the ancient world to the medieval period.

Section Expectation

Through lectures and readings, you will see examples of how art historians learn about societies and cultures by considering how people represent themselves through visual culture. We will examine prominent artifacts, works of art, and architecture within the framework of historical and cultural developments.
