Description:

This course is for the general student and has no prerequisites. It begins with ancient Greece and concludes with the late sixteenth century. Students are introduced to the landmark works of art from the Parthenon to the frescoes of Raphael. Major works are projected, discussed, and analyzed. A limited exposure to the music involves chant, mass movements, motets, madrigals, and instrumental music. Throughout, terminology is kept to the most important terms. Students will be asked to identify the artworks by name, artist (if one is known), medium, and appropriate time period. Special attention is given to the development of architecture from early Christian to Gothic. A short focus is given to siege warfare and weaponry. Considerable attention is given the giants of the high Renaissance including Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo.
