AR 200 - Pre-Columbian Art and Architecture

Institution:

Saint Vincent College

Subject:

Description:

This course aims to introduce students to the art and architecture produced by the major cultures of Mesoamerica and the Andes in Pre-Columbian times (before the arrival of Columbus and the Spanish Conquistadors). As many of these societies lacked writing systems, or used systems not yet fully deciphered today, the works of art and architecture themselves will be examined as a way to gain an understanding of these peoples, their cosmology, myths and rituals. No prerequisites. Three credits.
