CLAS C422 Archaic and Classical Greek Sculpture (3 cr.) This course
is a chronological survey of Greek sculpture in the Archaic and
Classical periods, ca. 650-330 B.C.  Topics include the origins and
techniques of Greek sculpture, including inspirations from the Aegean
Bronze Age, Egypt, and the Near East; free-standing, relief, and
architectural sculpture in religious, funerary, and public contexts;
lost "masterpieces" of ancient Greek art and the problems involved in
using Roman copies to reconstruct the art history and individual
styles of Greek sculptors.  Special attention will be given to the
purpose, setting, and function of Greek sculpture as a form of art,
its relation to other arts, and its place in archaeological
research.  Textbooks will be available at the Friends of Art
Bookstore in the Fine Arts building. This course meets with FINA A410.
Prerequisites: 1) Junior standing and  2) CLAS C206 or FINA A206
