DESCRIPTION
The course presents an introductory survey of History of the Western Art from the Paleolithic era to the present day. The scope of the course is broad, focusing on a limited set of major examples which will document the most important pieces in the eyes of the art historians. The course will not be, however, about memorizing names and dates. It will rather try to expose students to the beauty of art and deepen their historical understanding. It will allow them to observe pieces of art in their context of time and specific meaning, as well as an artistic value. Students will sharpen their visual skills and learn to apply their knowledge to works of art that they may have never been exposed to before.
There will be numerous field trips to museums and art galleries to see and admire the works of art face to face.
