FA 251 - History of Art I


Lecture Hours: 3
Lab Hours: 0
Credit Hours: 3

A survey of Western painting, sculpture, and architecture, beginning with the styles of Crete and Mycenae and ending with that of Gothic Europe. Although we will mainly define styles and identify the historical processes that shaped them, we will also pause to discuss such matters as the technology of Roman architecture, the Greco-Roman sources of Early Christian style, and the effects upon later medieval art of pilgrimages and relics.
