ART 460 - World Art

Credits 3
Step outside the typical Western art timeline and explore the vibrant, diverse, and deeply meaningful art traditions of Asia, Africa, the Americas, and Oceania. This course dives into the visual languages of non-Western cultures—past and present—examining how art and design reflect beliefs, identities, histories, and innovations. From sacred temples to contemporary street murals, you'll uncover how global artistic expressions shape—and are shaped by—their cultural worlds. Along the way, you'll expand your creative toolkit, gain fresh design perspectives, and see how these global influences continue to inspire today's art and design scenes.
