    Description
    This interdisciplinary course surveys major works, figures, styles, concepts, and techniques in the liberal and fine arts of the Western world. It draws from the Renaissance, baroque era, neoclassicism, romanticism, Industrial Age, modernism, and postmodernism. Students study examples of creative genius in such fields as art, literature, music, philosophy, history, theater, and architecture to better understand the heritage of Western civilization, the cultures of multiple peoples, and ways that the past and its arts are relevant to themselves and contemporary life.
