Class Description:

This writing intensive course offers a wide-ranging introduction to the art, architecture, and material culture of the Islamic world throughout much of the world from the origins of the Muslim faith in the seventh century to the age of the early modern empires. Throughout the course, we will discuss and examine a selection of paradigmatic works of art produced in a range of media, to include architecture, painting, textiles, metalwork, ceramics, woodwork, and video. We will discuss the cultural, political and religious milieu in which these works were produced. In addition to questions regarding actual and possible intentions of patrons and artists, we will consider the social agency of these objects and monuments in an analytical manner. The material will be approached historically, geographically and chronologically; throughout the course the features and themes that unify the diverse artistic trends produced throughout the Islamic world will be discussed.
