ARTH 213 - Art & Arch Ancient Mesopotamia

Institution:

College of Charleston

Subject:

Art History

Description:

This course investigates the material and visual culture of the Eastern Mediterranean and Mesopotamia from the Neolithic period to the Achaemenid Persian Empire. While we will approach the material chronologically and regionally, the course will also be structured around two important issues. First, how did the various cultures of the ancient Near East interact with each other? Second, how does ancient Near Eastern art and architecture continue to be present in our contemporary lives? Through these questions, we will discuss cultural heritage and ways that art and architecture intersect with ancient and modern politics, religion, and social issues.
