ARTH 1310 - Masterworks of World Art

Institution:

University of the Incarnate Word

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This is a one-semester survey of Western and non-Western art: painting, sculpture, architecture, etc. This course will explore art from the earliest civilizations (Egyptian, Greek and Roman), from the late medieval period (Romanesque and Gothic), from Mesoamerica (1500 B.C. to 1520 A.D.), from the Renaissance (Da Vinci, Michelangelo), and from the modern and post-modern eras of the U.S. and Latin America. The organization is not strictly chronological. Rather, each unit consisits of several recurring topics: introduction, place; style or movement; individual artist and status of the artist; patronage and politics; individual work of art. This structure will introduce students to approaching works of art in context. This course is designed for non-Art majors and may not be taken by Art majors for credit. (Fall, Spring)
