UTART 200 Worlds of Art
No matter where or when, humans share a common impulse for self-expression through visual imagery despite vast differences among their creative choices. This course explores the significances of visual art for humanity as well as how its study can foster deep cross-cultural connections and individual self-discovery. We investigate the interpretive frames and types of evidence used to “answer” big questions, using objects such as paintings, sculptures, and architectural monuments as primary evidence, in combination with other sources (such as scholarly readings and historical texts) as inductive analysis tools and as modes for exploring art history as a humanistic discipline.
