(2 credits) The subject of this course is the history of western art and architecture, from Prehistoric times to circa 2000. We will examine the form, style, function and meaning of important monuments of the past, and consider these in their historical and cultural context. We will approach these objects in chronological order, for students first need to learn when, where and by whom (whether a people, or a known individual) a given object was produced before they can attempt to determine why the object was made, what it meant in its time and place (as opposed to what it may mean to us today), and whose ideology it served. Once we know how to classify visual information, we may be able to make historical sense of the surviving evidence.
