Students explore and compare the art-making practices of these cultures by examining the social, eco- nomic, political and religious context of the production and use of the works of art considered. Students learn and evaluate different art historical methodological approaches to the analysis of the material considered. Students master and employ art historical and artistic vocabulary as they conduct visual analysis of various works of art, including paintings, sculptures, architecture, ceramics, textiles, and body arts.
