Graduate Pre-Columbian Art

Catalog description

Through thematically oriented slide lectures, class discussions, online video, independent research, local event attendance and displays at NEHMA and the Anthropology Museum, the students will become familiar with several different art forms from Native Meso-, Central and South America. While we will be looking primarily at the art and architecture popularly termed "Pre-Columbian", I will also include some more contemporary forms of Latin American art.
