AH 301 - Greek Art

3 Credit(s)

This course surveys the vase painting, sculpture, and architecture of Greece, commencing with its Cycladic and Minoan/Mycenaean beginnings and proceeding to the final Greek period, Hellenistic. Although the approach to Greek art is primarily historical, students are also introduced to new research dealing with current questions explored for the period, including gender issues and critical reevaluations of well-known monuments. Students use local collections to familiarize themselves with Greek art.
