Art History 302 - Reimagining Paris

'By 1300 Paris was the largest city in Europe, the royal capital of France, home to a brilliant university, and a thriving commercial hub. This seminar investigates the city through its surviving buildings, paintings, graphic images, maps, and literature. Using digital tools we will reconstruct key lost monuments in a process that casts participants in the role of builder, that demands careful evaluation of fragmentary evidence and that encourages creative imagination informed by art and architectural history.'

This course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Prereq: 8 credits in Art History, Computer Science, or Medieval Studies
