DESCRIPTION
This comparative survey of the arts of Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas during the period between c. 300 and 1400 C.E. aims to equip students with a global mental map of artistic developments in their broader cultural-historical contexts, with special attention to major religious traditions and to the differing media, aesthetics, and representational and functional needs that characterized them. Particular emphasis will be given to Western Europe and Byzantium; the Islamic world; Tibet and Nepal; Mayan and Andean cultures; and Southeast Asia, China, and Japan.
