ARH 295-01 - Special Topic: Pre-modern Islamic Art

4 credits (Spring)
Does the term “Islamic” contribute to our understanding of the secular and religious art associated with Muslim peoples dating from the 7th through18th centuries and stretching from Spain to China, or does it cause us to oversimplify the complex and nuanced art of diverse cultures? Determining ways of defining Islamic art will be the central objective of this course as we identify major themes and developments in architecture, book art, textiles, and decorative art.

Prerequisite: ARH 103 .
