AH 350 - Medieval Art

Upper Division

This course will look at medieval art from the fall of the Roman Empire to the beginning of the Renaissance. Particular attention will be given to the often-forgotten art of the ‘Barbarians’, and to their cultural background. Besides art and architecture, the course will include social history, literature, food and music in order to give a more complete understanding of the period. Students will also produce two artworks based on what they have learned about medieval art: the first will be an illuminated manuscript page, the second will be a choice between creating a coat of arms and designing a stained-glass window.
