This course is a survey of the painting, sculpture, crafts and architecture of a range of cultures, which may include the Americas, the Middle East and/or Africa through time. The course objective is to develop a multi-cultural awareness of humanity's approaches to the visual arts and how they are a reflection of those cultures' values, geographical and cultural environments, and reactions to history. There is also an acknowledgement that any culture does not exist and develop in a vacuum-while the course is intended to explore a range of the Americas, Middle Eastern, and African cultures, forays into influences beyond the area may be deemed necessary. The class instructor will have discretion as to which cultures will be considered. Prerequisite: ENG 112 or WRI 118. This course fulfills the Cultural and Global Place requirement in the General Education Curriculum.
