VMA 112Art His: Prehistoric-Medieval

Catalog

This course is a broad, multicultural survey of art and architecture from the Prehistoric to the Medieval periods. Through formal analysis students will learn to use visual language to express aspects of design such as style, composition, perspective and materials. Students will explore how global, social, political, and cultural events influence, and are influenced by, artists and the production of art. By engaging with works of art through discussion, writing, museum visits, and making projects, students will explore the process of human creative endeavor, and will construct a narrative about artistic expression as it relates to society and their own experience. This course meets the General Education requirement for Creative Work.
