Social History of Art (CL)
Prerequisite: Not open to students with credit in History through Art and Architecture
Credit: 1 credit in Fine Arts
Offered: Fall
An introduction to the history of art and architecture, with a deliberate exposure to both pre-modern and non-Western cultures. Topics and regions covered may include prehistoric and primitive art, a survey of Western art traditions and ideas from Greco-Roman times to the present, and comparative treatments of the independent artistic perspectives of Africa, India, East Asia, and the Americas. There will be a significant independent research component, with individual students “curating” a proposed gallery show as their final project.
