CLASSIC 17A : Introduction to Greek Archaeology

Kim Shelton |  
Fall 2020

Course Description

This course is intended as an in-depth introduction to the material culture of the Ancient Greeks. We examine and discuss the architecture, sculpture, painting, and ceramics of the various periods chronologically from the Neolithic to the Hellenistic period, and examine how archaeologists and art historians interpret this evidence. One goal of the course is to understand the technical and artistic development and changes in the artifacts and their characteristic styles while gaining deeper insight into the civilization that produced them through an understanding of how the wider social and economic context conditioned and were affected by these accomplishments.

Creative Discovery Course Grant Experience

This grant was instrumental to my teaching and my students' experience since it allowed for a transformative course design that allows for student interaction on a level remotely that would not have been possibly without the support.
