This immersive block engages students in art appreciation and cultural history, and explores the evolution of human expression.  Students will study how humanity’s inner life has transformed from the mythic, symbolic art of ancient civilizations to the perspective-driven, individualistic art of the High Renaissance. Viewing historical works of art are enhanced with artistic exercises.  This class engages the senses and the soul, viewing art as a reflection of changing human consciousness and cultural history.
