ARH 2030 - Art from Prehistory to 1400 (3) [GenEd: FA]

When Offered: Fall; Spring
GEN ED: Fine Arts Designation; Sustainability and Climate Literacy
A global survey of art that examines how ancient people, from the earliest makers during the Paleolithic age through the early Gothic period (roughly 65,000 BCE to 1400 CE), chose places for sustained settlement through interactions with natural environments and climate events and created meaning by manipulating natural materials and turning them into lasting statements. The course focuses on the skills of visual analysis of form, critical thinking of context, and knowledge of long-term climate literacy.
