Well, well, well...Sadly,now that our culinary indulgences are over we must be about our art historical business yet again!
This week we will be investigating the Art and Times of the Roman Republic and Empire. The Roman genius (unlike the Greeks) is one primarily of pragmatic, deliberate and insatiable acquisition and development of existing aesthetic,architectural and cultural models. For example- their absolutely brilliant uses of the basic Arch.The technique of fresco.The "concept" of democratic government. The "sense" of the divine.
To be honest with you- we might just find "US".
Note: As mentioned in class last week please be prepared to discuss chapter 10- "FROM SEVEN HILLS TO THREE CONTINENTS" the Art of Ancient Rome.
