ADAH 225 - MYTH, MEANING & SYMBOLS IN ART
Credits: Three
From the beginning, humans have used myths and symbols to structure
and understand the visible and unseen forces that shape the
physical world. This course surveys the visual representations of
these myths and the use of symbols in art from the Paleolithic
period to the present. Students will gain an understanding of how
images manipulate and define or redefine mythologies and how
meanings are embedded within visual culture. This course is
designed to provide students with no previous background in art or
art history with the knowledge and ability to read and comprehend
meaning within works of art from western and non-western cultures.
