About this course
This course is a general introduction to the visual arts of the indigenous cultures of Mesoamerica, an area extending from northern Mexico through Central America, and the Andean region of South America. It covers diverse art forms, including architecture, ceramics, weaving, painting, and sculpture from antiquity to the present with emphasis upon the Pre-Columbian past. Topics addressing the religious, cultural, social, economic and political contexts of the art will be explored.
