This course provides an introduction to Western art, from c. 500 B.C.E to c.
1600 C.E., covering major European art periods. Studies include art and
architecture of early Islamic and Medieval cultures, and the engineering
marvels of the Romanesque and Gothic cathedrals. This course travels through
the explosive Renaissance innovations in Italy and the northern regions of
Flanders, Germany and the Netherlands. Studies conclude with the interpretive
forms of Mannerism, a style of art driven by modern sensibilities. Instruction
focuses primarily on painting, sculpture and graphics, and covers selected
examples of architecture to introduce key principles and centers for each
period. This course is designed for non-majors as well as art majors.
