A Survey of Ancient Art

"If men had postponed the search for knowledge and beauty until they were secure, the search would never have begun.” C.S. Lewis, Weight of Glory

Join me while we search for beauty in the ancient world by exploring and practicing art from Mesopotamia to the fall of Rome. This course will seek to lay a foundation to understand the importance of art history in cultures and give students a bigger and fuller understanding of the historical relevance of art.

This course is designed to be a hands-on art course in which the students will practice art skills based on what we are learning as assigned per the instructor.
