Course Description

This course is an introduction to looking at art and appreciating the wide range of art and architecture that surrounds us in our contemporary world. We will think about, engage with, and learn how to look at the visual arts of the present and the past, and understand their contexts, subjects, and styles. At the same time, we will study monuments across the globe that place the visual arts in a broad cultural framework. Close attention is given to visual literacy, as well as the concepts that connect artistic communication and expression from the art and architecture of the ancient world through modern times. Through local museum and gallery visits, we will also become familiar with the ways that the arts connect to our everyday lives. Prior to Fall 2023, this course was titled "Arts of the Western World: The Visual Experience."
