While our gods have often been understood as artists sculpting human form, it is humans, in turn, who give shape to the divine. This course will explore humanistic and reason-centered aspects of ancient cultures as they inform and are expressed by art. By the end of the course, students consider idealized proportions and spatial relationships, expressing societal values of harmony and order, characterize ancient Greek religious and civic architecture and figural representation.
The primary discipline of this course is Art.
