This course surveys significant art and artifacts from prehistoric to medieval Gothic times. Emphasis is on the cyclical nature of dominant themes in the world of art. The course provides a basis for students to understand and appreciate the intercultural concepts, theories, and analysis associated with ancient to pre-Renaissance sculpture, architecture, painting, illumination, and metalcraft. Students will complete writing assignments appropriate for the course and subject. Note: Because colleges divide historical periods differently, completing the entire Survey of Art sequence at one college is strongly recommended. IAI: F2 901.
