ARTS 1130 Art of the Americas

4.5 - 0.0 - 4.5

Course Description

This course examines the material culture of various indigenous peoples of North and South America. Special attention is given to Northern Plains Indians and Mesoamerican cultures. Students gain an understanding of the formal analysis of art and the use of visual communication in social and historical contexts. NOTE: It is recommended that students take ENGL 1020 prior to taking ARTS 1130 because the level of reading and writing for this course requires a solid foundation in both.
