PCA 262-CLA - Greek Art and Myth

Min Units: 3
Max Units: 3
In ancient Greece, mythology and myth inspired art helped people process their lived experiences, communicate their ideas and beliefs, and explain their world. This class will explore the intersection of Greek myth and art while considering the many ways these two media have been used to convey meaning over time, particularly through various art forms. Close attention will be given to: the reception of myth and artistic renderings of myth that illuminate contemporary issues of social justice; critiques of traditional & contemporary readings of ancient stories; and the diversity of experiences and perspectives myth can encompass.
