Art 162 - Art History II
Art History II continues to explore the history of art in western and non-western cultures. Beginning with the precursors of the Renaissance students will examine the changes that take place in art from the Renaissance to the 20th Century. The class will explore the social and political influences during these periods and their effects on the history of art. Through group discussions, writing assignments, and slide lectures we will cover the history, issues, styles and conceptual aspects of art.
