ARTH 3421 - Medieval Art



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ENG 1020 and ARTH 1600 with a C- or better or permission of the department

Description: Students in this course study the art and culture of the 4th to the 14th centuries in Europe and the Mediterranean. The art of this period is considered within a larger social history tied to the changing and overlapping influences of various religious beliefs, political systems, and economic structures. Stylistic development, patronage, iconography, and functionality are explored in addition to considerations of materials, techniques, and aesthetic theories. Students in this class are exposed to the arts of sculpture, metalwork, manuscript illumination, tapestry, stained glass, painting, and architecture.
