HN 301 - Art and Intellectual History in the West from the Late Middle Ages to Today

(3.00 cr.)

Restricted to junior or senior Honors students. Through the close study of images and texts, the relationship between art and the ideological, religious, and philosophical circumstances in which it was produced is examined. Through class discussion and writing, students investigate both the way that this art was shaped by its intellectual context and how it reworked and rethought this material by giving it visual form. Counts as an Honors fine arts seminar.
