ARTH 190 - Global Art History I: Prehistory to Medieval Credit Hours 3
This course presents world art and architecture made from the beginning of recorded images until the middle of the second millennium. Students become familiar with the cultures of this era, adept at identifying and comparing the characteristics of their art, and understand how art production is linked to social, political, economic, religious, and historical conditions. Beginning with prehistoric art by identifying basic forms and methods of creating before it was defined as art, students learn about early civilizations in the Near East, Egypt, and the Aegean in which art began in service to rulers and to demarcate cities. The course examines the art of Greece and Rome as the foundation for the formation of Western civilization. Definitions of art and culture include that made concurrently in Southeast Asia, China, Korea, Japan, the Americas, and Africa and facilitate an understanding of diverse belief systems and organizational structures. 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. Upon completion of this course, students should have a broad knowledge of global art and its diverse forms and purposes prior to the 14th century.

ARTH 191 - Global Art History II: Renaissance to the Present Credit Hours 3
This course presents a history of art since the fourteenth century. Students become familiar with different art styles and develop the ability to identify recurring themes, forms, and agendas in art as it progresses through time periods, regions, countries, and continents. Ultimately, the course illustrates how art is linked to social, political, economic, religious, and historic conditions, as well as other arts such as drama, music, and literature. The examination is a global one, and includes European and American art; indigenous art of the Americas; Southeast Asian, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, and African art; and the art of Pacific cultures. An important part of the class discussion addresses the cultural appropriations, aggressions, and obliterations that are part of the exchanges initiated by European exploration and colonization. Another element of the class explores the role of art in the development and transmutations of religions, such as reformations of the powerful Catholic church, culture-specific adaptations of Buddhist imagery, and what liturgical art was incorporated into the development of Protestantism. The course also highlights the increasing social status of artists, who were largely unknown in the previous era, but, by the time of the Renaissance, had attained celebrity status. Of particular note to this era as well is the way art was used in nation-building-from its contributions to revolutions, to documenting historic moments, and to defining national identities. At the completion of this course, students will have a broad knowledge of art in all its diverse forms and purposes.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in fine arts.
This course will satisfy the core requirement in multicultural studies.
