ARB 115 - Art of Ancient Mesoamerica


3 credit(s)
An introduction to the ancient American art, archaeology, and inscriptions of Mexico and Central America. Students examine forms and functions of Middle American cultural materials, while looking closely at how these were influenced by indigenous cosmology as well as ecological and socioeconomic factors. Interactive, image-based lectures span 3,000 years of Mesoamerican art and civilization, including the stylistic traditions of the Olmec, Maya, Zapotec, and Aztec. Consideration is given to the impact of 16th-century European contact on Native American culture and artistic forms.
