Anthropology of Art
ANT4212.01
Course Description
Summary
This course is an exploration of art as defined and practiced in different cultures. We will look at how peoples of diverse world cultures create, use, manipulate, conceptualize, exchange, and evaluate objects of material culture. We will look at how material items are considered to be artistic or aesthetic in some fashion, and think of how and if we can translate those values across cultural boundaries.Prerequisites
Previous work in anthropology or previous work in social sciences.
