WGS 304/AAH 304 Women in Classical Art
(Literary, Visual & Performing Arts, Gender)
This course is designed for undergraduate upper level students. We will be investigating the representation of women in ancient sculpture, painting, and the minor arts, as well as the architecture and structure of ancient houses and other spaces used by women. In addition, the roles of women as patrons of the arts will be examined. Emphasis will be placed on the interpretation of art and architecture in relation to the social and cultural roles that women fulfilled in the Greek and Roman worlds.
