ART 130 Foundations: Art in Context I
An introduction to selected artistic case studies from the global prehistoric to the advent of “modernity.” Students examine the aesthetic values and subjects that have developed through styles, movements, and modes of artistic production across global contexts, with emphasis on cultural comparisons and contrasts among functions and definitions of art. Using a case-study approach, the course questions traditional disciplinary concepts (such as periodization and the geographical categorization of art) and explores expanded modes of art and art historical inquiry.
