VIS 421 - Cultural Arts of the Renaissance

Institution:

Antioch University-Midwest (Closed)

Subject:

Description:

This course is designed for undergraduate students and chronologically spans the art historical periods of Jewish, Early Christian, Byzantine, Islamic, European Medieval, Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance art. We begin our travels in 100 BCE and end our journey in 1600 CE, emphasizing the expressive culture, historical context and artistic style of time and place. Not your typical survey course, this class is a dynamic, participatory class that provides students with a variety of opportunities to "get their hands dirty" and develop a fuller appreciation of art through the manipulation of artistic media and the experience of actually doing. Students may find themselves creating tile mosaics, illustrating illuminated manuscripts or dancing the Volta! The focus of such activities is always on the value of the experience itself, not the perfection of a final product. Fine art skills are not necessary, but a willing spirit is.
