At the same time, you will investigate the tradition of images used in Christian worship from the origins to the 14th century in the Orthodox culture of Byzantium and its connections with medieval Russia and with religious painting in Italy. You will encounter the explicit grounds for image veneration in medieval Greek theological and philosophical writings, as well as the material practices of Christian worship in some Christian cultures past and present. You will develop a research project of your own for oral and written presentation.

According to the subtitle, this writing-intensive undergraduate seminar examines topics in art history and visual studies that are explicitly not limited by geographical location and/or period in history. Topics might be defined by subject matter, artistic practices and traditions, genres, and other comparable categories within art history and visual studies. Students will develop skills in writing and formal visual analysis, as well as practical skills needed to conduct and present their research. This course is a Graduation Composition and Communication Requirement (GCCR) course for the Art History and Visual Studies program, and therefore is not likely to be eligible for automatic transfer credit to UK.
