An Introduction to European Art History
EarthDiverse is pleased to announce an upcoming courses in our Selected Topics in History series entitled "An Introduction to European Art History." If you have always wanted to find out more about the major époques of European art and to identify major styles of architecture, sculpture and painting, this course is for you.
This eight-week course is aimed at participants with little or no previous knowledge. From the ancient Greeks to the post-modern era, we use exemplary artwork to analyse major trends in Western art. The art objects will be analysed and discussed within the context of important historical and social developments. Participants learn to identify buildings and visual art from e.g. the Romanesque, Gothic, Baroque, Georgian, Classicist and Modernist styles on the basis of their typical features.
This course meets on Tuesday evenings beginning 20 October from 7:00-9:00pm. For more information on this, and our many other language, history and religious diversity courses, please visit our website.
