History of Art is an historical course of study and analysis of artistic endeavours that represent human values, conflicts and aspirations. Art and architecture are examined from early cultures to the end of the twentieth century to provide a broad awareness, understanding and appreciation for the esthetic ideals of civilization. Subjects of analysis will be compared and contrasted to morals, values and belief paradigms of the time in which they were created. In this framework, the student will be able to fully contextualize their own work as creators of tomorrow's artifacts.
