Subject:

Description:

A survey of representative works of art through the ages encouraging increased aesthetic perception and deepened awareness of universal human experience. Studying the arts of our ancestors helps us to understand ourselves and circumstances of our situation. The analysis of architecture, sculpture, and painting during the highlights of the golden ages of western art history from the Paleolithic Period through the Proto-Renaissance will be covered. Although art of the Western world will be emphasized, art objects from the non-European world will be explored. Examination of the art from these cultures offers a valuable perspective and promotes understanding of the life-ways and contributions of these unique societies.
