“What do masterpieces like the Great Pyramids, the Colosseum, and Notre Dame Cathedral tell us about the people that produced them? We will answer such questions in a new Spring 2016 Honors Course. This presentation will introduce Art History 110: Prehistory through the Middle Ages. Beginning with the world’s oldest paintings found in prehistoric caves, we will journey through time, studying works of art and architecture make in the Near East, Egypt, Greece, Rome, and Medieval Europe. As you examine iconic works, you will also have the opportunity to recreate ‘lost work of art’ that no longer survives.”

To learn more about the new course and ask questions, please join us for the Lunch and Learn on Tuesday, October 13th from 11:00am till 11:50am in Pickell’s Conference Room or visit the course description blog post. As usual, pizza from Jets pizza will be provided for those who attend. Please make sure to RSVP before noon on Monday, October 12th by emailing .
