Class description
Material remains and developing styles in sculpture, vase painting, architecture, and the minor arts from the Geometric to the Hellenistic periods. Principal sites, monuments, techniques and methods of excavation are examined in an attempt to reconstruct the material culture of antiquity. Appreciation of Greek Art and, to some degree, its impact on Western art: you’ll learn to look and what to look for. Some consideration will also be given to the major excavation sites.
Student learning goals
