FPA 212 - Art History: Prehistoric Era to the Middle Ages

This class provides a study of the history of art, from the earliest beginnings in the Prehistoric periods to the end of the Middle Ages. Works of art are examined as both monuments of intrinsic aesthetic value and as expressions of the needs, ideals, and aspirations of the societies and times in which they were created. The course will consist of a series of lectures on individual cultures and topics with a new discussion each class. Participation is strongly encouraged.
