ARTH 215 - Lighting Up the Dark Ages: Illuminating Medieval Art 3 Credit Hours
The development of art in Western Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Near East from the late third century through the fourteenth century CE can be traced through numerous regions and peoples. The Graeco-Roman roots of Classical antiquity serve as a stylistic and iconographic background for the Early Christian Art of the east and west. The course includes Jewish Art, Byzantine art, Islamic art, Migration art, Carolingian art, and Crusader art. Tracing the rise of manuscript-making, the exploration culminates with Romanesque and Gothic Art and Architecture. By the end of this period, people had that sought to represent and commune with God through pilgrimage, building, and the metaphorical use of elements such as light. The styles and artistic media of these periods and regions are considered in their social and political contexts, with reference to philosophy, the natural sciences, liturgy, literature, music, economic trends, and intellectual and technological advances.
This course will satisfy the core area requirement in fine arts.
