The course examines the art of Greece and Rome as the foundation for the formation of Western civilization.

Examinations of Islamic, Byzantine, Jewish, and early Christian art facilitate a comparative analysis of devotional art. The art and architecture of the early Medieval, Romanesque, and Gothic periods help illustrate the Medieval Era and the formation of secular and religious socio-political and economic systems who have common or conflicting agendas.
