From ancient painting and sculpture to modern photography and conceptual art, it explains how art communicates ideas and values that have shaped Western civilization and how art has developed in relation to changes in historical context, including politics, religion, science, economics, and society. Students will learn about major artistic movements, common techniques of Western art, and methods for interpreting visual culture both visually and historically. No previous knowledge of art history is assumed.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-tabs fusion-tabs-1 clean vertical-tabs icon-position-left\"><style type=\"text\/css\">#wrapper .fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1.clean .nav-tabs li a.tab-link{border-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li a.tab-link{background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0.1);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link:hover,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li.active a.tab-link:focus{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs li a:hover{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);border-top-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .tab-pane{background-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .nav-tabs,.fusion-tabs.fusion-tabs-1 .tab-content .tab-pane{border-color:rgba(181,159,135,0.25);}<\/style><div class=\"nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\" role=\"tablist\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-618ed9088f0e6229def\" aria-selected=\"true\" id=\"fusion-tab-assessment\" href=\"#tab-618ed9088f0e6229def\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square far\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Assessment<\/h4><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-620513bf61e0b16df10\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"fusion-tab-prerequisite\" href=\"#tab-620513bf61e0b16df10\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Prerequisite<\/h4><\/a><\/li><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-51cb4ced6cd6e9b633a\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"fusion-tab-non-permissiblecombination\" href=\"#tab-51cb4ced6cd6e9b633a\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square far\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Non-permissible combination<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-content\"><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\"><li class=\"active\"><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-618ed9088f0e6229def\" aria-selected=\"true\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-assessment\" href=\"#tab-618ed9088f0e6229def\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square far\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Assessment<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix in active\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-assessment\" id=\"tab-618ed9088f0e6229def\">\n<p><strong>100% coursework<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-620513bf61e0b16df10\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-prerequisite\" href=\"#tab-620513bf61e0b16df10\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square fas\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Prerequisite<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-prerequisite\" id=\"tab-620513bf61e0b16df10\">\n<p><strong>None<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"nav fusion-mobile-tab-nav\"><ul class=\"nav-tabs\"><li><a class=\"tab-link\" data-toggle=\"tab\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"tab-51cb4ced6cd6e9b633a\" aria-selected=\"false\" tabindex=\"-1\" id=\"mobile-fusion-tab-non-permissiblecombination\" href=\"#tab-51cb4ced6cd6e9b633a\"><h4 class=\"fusion-tab-heading\"><i class=\"fontawesome-icon fa-check-square far\" aria-hidden=\"true\" style=\"font-size:22px;\"><\/i>Non-permissible combination<\/h4><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"tab-pane fade fusion-clearfix\" role=\"tabpanel\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-labelledby=\"fusion-tab-non-permissiblecombination\" id=\"tab-51cb4ced6cd6e9b633a\">\n<p><strong>FINE1001<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_3 1_3 fusion-one-third fusion-column-last\" style=\"width:33.333333333333%;width:calc(33.333333333333% -
