AHY 2241 - The Arts and Architecture of the African Continent and Beyond

Credits: 4
A survey of the ancient and traditional arts of the African continent, including North Africa. Works will be discussed as visual reflections of the specific cultural and historical contexts in which they were created. Some consideration will also be given to the influence of these varied artistic traditions on the art and architecture of the Caribbean, America, and especially the modern European artistic traditions seen in the works of such artists as Picasso, Braque, Matisse, and others.
