HISTORY OF ART

Catalog description

This course surveys the history of the representation of the human body as a record of the social, technological, environmental, and political circumstances of a period. The goal of this course is to establish among young designers an understanding of art as an expression of the desires, aspirations, needs, esthetics, and available resources of subjects/users throughout history. Human beings and their representations of the environment will be examined, from the earliest representations of humans, through current film and digital media that envision the future.
