Abstract
This course is designed to provide students with an introduction to the discipline of art history through a close study of the visual culture of the Augustan period in ancient Rome. Because the course examines how Augustan art is observed, interpreted and presented by both ancient viewers and modern art historians, course material includes art historical writing about the Augustan period as well as other works of art theory that may not focus on the material from this period. This exploration into art historical scholarship will expose students to a variety of methodologies and will require students to engage in critical reading, close viewing, detailed bibliographic research and scholastic writing.
