Institution:

Subject:

Description:

One unit. The ancient Mediterranean is often cited as the birthplace of western civilization. In this course we will examine this concept while surveying the art and architecture of the three distinct but related cultures of the Bronze Age Aegean, Classical Greek and Roman civilizations. Students will learn about the vast material cultures of these civilizations through examinations of ceramics, sculpture, painting, and architecture. Minoan and Mycenaean palaces, Classical Greek temples, and Roman amphitheaters and villas are but a few of the agencies of monumental expression covered in this course. This survey will touch upon issues relevant to the disciplines of Art History, Archaeology, History, Literature, and Religion. Students will engage the material through lectures, reading material, writing assignments, and museum trips. This course meets the College requirements for an International Perspectives Requirement.
