American Art and Architecture. 3 credits. (Same as AMS 385)

Catalog description

A history of the major works of sculpture, architecture, and painting made in the United States from the pre-Columbian period to the present day. In studying these monuments, equal emphasis will be placed on formal analysis and on contextual history. Students will be asked to identify particular works, to describe their basic elements, to distinguish those elements that characterize different styles, and to begin to explain the formal and historical reasons for these differences.
