| Course description |
| This course provides students western art history from Antiquity up to Italian Renaissance Art. We perceive the relationship literature and fine art as “word and image,” and then consider how literary image (iconographical subject) relates to visual image in western art history and how the artistic style had transform into the epochs respectively. In this way we aim to comprehend western art history. |
| Expected Learning |
| As Homo Logos, we use language as main tool of communication, but also much visual image: its ultimate expressive form is the fine arts. Through this course we come to understand the introduction of western art history and the interrelation between literature and art deeply, and to describe artistic form by ourselves. |
