Art History

Description:

Through geographically and thematically oriented Power Point based lectures, online video and DVD, class discussions, independent research, local event attendance and displays at NEHMA and the Anthropology Museum, the students will become familiar with a broad range of arts, primarily of West and Central Africa, as well as North, East and Southern Africa.
