By the beginning of the 3rd century CE, Rome's dominance reached to England in the north, Africa in the south, and Russia and Iraq in the east. By the late 3rd century CE, however, the Roman Empire became unstable. How was one city able to amass such a vast territory in a relatively short period of time? What were the long-lasting effects of Rome's attempt at world domination? To help answer these questions and others, students will explore the numerous advancements made in architecture, engineering, and art during the rise and fall of the Roman Empire. Students will also become familiar with various forms of entertainment and literature that address the social, political, and religious makeup of the Roman world. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment:

European art and architecture produced between the years 1000 and 1400. Focus will be on figural and decorative arts (monumental and miniature painting, stained glass, sculpture, and metalwork) and on architecture as a physical context for monumental public images. The functions of objects and the audiences for whom they were made will be considered along with their styles, subject matter, techniques and materials. Medieval ideas about sight, vision, and representation will be examined as essential to an understanding of the art of this era. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective

3.00 Credits
An exploration of multicultural influences on art and culture in the Medieval Mediterranean. While the divisions of Christian and Islamic culture often appear concrete, the Medieval Mediterranean world showed a more permeable boundary between Christians and Muslims. Bridged by courtly cultures and even wars, the production of art objects in the Christian and Muslim spheres may be more similar than assumed. We will begin by examining the conventional divisions of geography, historical periods, and religion to decide if these boundaries serve the objects in question. With Crusaders, refugees, and merchants crossing the Mediterranean, does the traditional map of medieval culture need revision? Focusing on monuments and portable objects such as metalwork, ivory, textiles, and the arts of the book, we will discover and analyze dynamic cultural intersections. We will dissect possible separations and fusions in terms of public and private art, centers and margins, secular and religious culture in the regions in and around Spain, Egypt, Sicily, and Byzantium. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar (3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective

Artistic Personality in the Renaissance I: The Early Renaissance is the first part in a two-part sequence, opening in the fall semester with an investigation of Italian art in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Students will concentrate on those artists whose works signal the transition from the Early to the High Renaissance, a brief period when Western culture finds a spectacular climax in the artistic productions of Florence, Rome and Venice, and when such work comes to be known, imported, emulated and revered throughout Western Europe and beyond. Primary sources, and above all the artistic biographies of Giorgio Vasari, will be complemented by modern and contemporary scholastic commentaries. Artists include Giotto, Duccio, Masaccio, Brunelleschi, Alberti, Donatello. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective
