Art History I encompasses a study of visual arts and architecture, both secular and religious, from Prehistoric times through the Fourteenth Century in the context of both the Western World and cultures outside Western traditions. Questions of style, meaning, and cultural significance will be introduced to lay groundwork for more specific contextual analysis of works of art and architecture and provide a foundation for the continued study of art history and criticism. Students will engage in a variety of activities both in and out of the classroom including lecture, discussion, research, and/or writing exercises.
