Five Centuries of Western Art
The Program
This survey of the history of Western art of the last 5 centuries will look at painting, sculpture, and graphic arts, with some reference to architecture, and an emphasis on the relationship between art (mainly painting) and its original historical and cultural contexts. We will be introduced to visual analysis, with a focus on how to look at a work of art in the original using selected major works and artists treated in terms of form, function, and historical context.
