Research Methods in World Art

Research Methods in World Art covers major works of art from across the globe spanning a wide specrtum of time—from the ancient epoch to the present.  Students will be challenged to apply the proper range of related terms to analyze the compositions on an aesthetic level and will be challened to think critically about the broader social context (political, economic, historic, technological, etc.) surrounding such works in order to examine human creativity and diversity throughout history.  This course follows a methodological approach to the discipline, focusing on the writing and research process itself and in critically assessing the art-historical literature in the process.  This course meets the General Education Reading/Writing Enhancement requirement.Prerequisite: AH 1100.
