CLA 210-001: ANCIENT GREEK AND ROMAN ART. This course begins with the Bronze Age societies of Crete and Mycenae, then explores the continuous evolution of Greek art from the 8th century B.C. through the Hellenistic period, and concludes with a look at Etruscan and Roman art through the time of the emperor Augustus. We will make a special effort to assess the religious, political, and social dimensions of ancient art as much as its formal characteristics, whether we are considering major public monuments such as the Parthenon in Athens and the Altar of Peace in Rome, or objects meant for private enjoyment such as Greek vases or Pompeian paintings. This course may be paired with HIS 229 or HIS 230 so as to satisfy the USP cross- disciplinary requirement. MWF 10:00-10:50. INSTRUCTOR: R. Scaife
CLA 230 THE HELLENISTIC WORLD AND ROME TO THE DEATH OF CONSTANTINE: Covers the conquests of Alexander the Great, and the main features of the Hellenistic World, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire to the death of Constantine. MWF 11:00-11:50 INSTRUCTOR: Gargola (Same as His 230)
CLA 235 CLASSICAL MYTHOLOGY: Throughout art, literature, and music, there are many mythological references from the Greek and Roman periods. By reference to these myths, these artists wish to recreate in you what the mythmakers were attempting to evoke by the original stories. The oneness of mankind is brought home in the continuity of its concerns and aspirations as expressed then and now. This course introduces you to those stories and helps you to remember them for years to come. You will learn the myths by reading them in your text, hearing them told in class, seeing them in slide/tape programs that recount them using art and music, and by reviewing them in your study guide. Although this is a course to be taken to be enjoyed, it will help you in courses in literature, art, music, psychology, anthropology, and other courses wherein human beings are the focal point.
