ART H 2196 - Greek and Roman Sculpture

Institution:

Temple University

Subject:

Description:

When is a naked male a god? Are females a sum of their hairstyles and clothes? We begin our exploration of the sculptor’s view of the human body in the 7th century BCE and finish as the rise of a newly legal religion changes the form of sculpture in the early 4th century CE. Along the way we will investigate the portrayal of the body in space, the use of emotion, the changing role of nudity as costume, and the depiction of different ethnic groups and ages, the beginning of portraiture, and the representation of non-humans, as the Greek and Roman sculptors portray the Other, the emperor, the god, and more.

Note: This is a Writing Intensive Course. Field trips are mandatory for this class.
