    Description
    This course examines ancient Egyptian art and architecture as a reflection of one of the oldest and best documented African civilizations. Students will study ancient Egyptian society using material culture that informs us about its art, history, religion, and language. Our survey will discuss funerary objects as well as objects from daily life, including sculpture, painting, ceramics, jewelry, and other visual art forms. Students will also survey architectural highlights, covering major monuments such as pyramids and temples as well as cities.
