This course will present an overview of the history and development of Western art from ancient Greece and Rome to the 21st century. The course will highlight major artistic movements, common techniques of Western art, and methods for interpreting visual culture. MA students will select one of the foundational UG lecture courses on offer either in Semester I or II and enroll at the graduate level. MA students will be expected to attend lectures and participate as normally expected at the undergraduate level, but in addition will be required to produce more advanced coursework and to attend special tutorials as arranged by individual instructors.
