This course is a broad survey of the major artistic
from the Paleolithic period to the Renaissance. The main purpose of this
course is to introduce students to the major problems and interpretations
of the arts from Antiquity and the Middle Ages. Emphasis will be
placed upon developments on the European continent, but the great civilizations
of the Middle East and Northern Africa, Asia and North America are also
considered. Following a chronological order, we will look, each week, at
the questions and problems that occupy art historians of the ancient
and medieval world.

your grade accordingly. Excessive tardiness and leaving shortly after roll
has been taken will be counted as an absence. It is your responsibility
to make sure that you sign the attendance sheet each time we meet.
