Art 102: Survey of Art in Western Europe
The Medieval and Renaissance Eras
Deming 105
The second of three introductory courses in the history of western art, this course covers Western European Art from the the Hiberno-Saxons in England through the Renaissance, c.700-1600 . We analyze painting, sculpture, architecture, manuscript illuminations and decorative arts, endeavoring to place them in the context for which these objects were created, making every effort to understand the art as those who created it intended. Important differences distinguish the various times and places, but vital continuities tie the periods to each other and to our world today. Upon completion of the class, you will be an informed observer of art, with the ability to discuss and write about art in an historical context. Moreover, you will develop your skills in areas of organization, logical thinking, and good writing. Art 102 is an entry-level, general education course with no prerequisites. Although this is the first of three courses, they do not need to be taken in chronological order. Art 101, 102, and 103 are required for a major in art history.
