ART-136, History of Art 2

Credits: 3

General Education Course

Course Description

History of Art 2 introduces students to the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture from the Renaissance to the 20th Century. The course will focus on the meaning of the artwork, on exploring and unfolding the work's underlying beliefs and ideas, on its projection/reflection of human values, and on the relationship of this historic expression to our own milieu. Emphasis is thus centered on students' understanding and development of their dialogue with Western and Eastern cultural heritage. Prerequisite: exemption/completion of READ-101.  Three hours lecture each week. Three credits. Three billable hours.   GENERAL EDUCATION
