Art History World Survey II 15

Catalog description

This course surveys art and architecture from the 15th century to the late 20th century. Students are introduced to the movements and styles of art around the world and the world's increasing interconnectedness during this period. We will discuss the role that cultural and historical factors had in the development of new styles as well as the role they played in the spread of styles across national and perceived cultural boundaries. We will also examine the characters and motivations of individual artists such as: Leonardo DaVinci, Aqa Riza, Cristobal de Villalpando, Picasso, Frida Kahlo, and the Guerrilla Girls and how that affected their styles and livelihoods.
