Greek Sculpture

HART 303 traces how Greek sculpture evolved from rigid Archaic kouroi through the Classical revolution to the portraiture of the fourth century, treating statues less as a stylistic timeline and more as objects whose meaning shifts with each new interpretive framework. You'll read current scholarship, give a presentation, and write a short research paper that engages a real interpretive problem rather than just cataloging works. It sits in the upper-level art-history track for Archaeology students, building the visual literacy and argument-evaluation skills that later seminars on Hellenistic and Roman material assume you already have.
