This survey is the third component in the World Art Series, focusing upon the Late Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque periods in Italy and Europe (ca. AD 1300-1800). Artistic movements in Mexico and South America, South and Southeast Asia, China, and Japan will also be studied in their own right. This survey will discuss a range of media including painting, woodcuts, sculpture, and architecture while considering materials and methods of production. An emphasis will be placed on the socio-economic and political contexts in which these artifacts were commissioned and produced. The course will also assist students in cultivating basic art-historical skills, in particular description, stylistic analysis, and iconographic and iconological analysis.
