ART 102 - PERSPECTIVE DRAWING: 1400s – 1700s
(The Visual Arts, Pt.2)
(slotted
for spring, 2011)
Visual art was becoming more prominent in the world after its earlier
stage. The Classical Period was very influential in society, especially
for decorative religious purposes by the Roman Catholic Church. With the
dawn of The Reformation, however, the purpose and style of the visual
arts was greatly challenged. Students will become familiar with a number
of famous, classical master artists, as they also study the science of
perspective drawing. They will gain a better insight into the reasons
why Christians had such little influence through the language of the
visual arts during later years.
