Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 39:     Separation of Greek and Roman Art Course (CLAS 314) into

two courses, and cross-listing them with ARTH 311 and 312

Effective Date: Fall 2009 

1. Delete: On page 106, the entry for CLAS 314:

314 Greek and Roman Art (3)

This course explores classical culture through an examination of the monuments and artistic artifacts of ancient Greece and Rome. Even years Fall.

Add: On page 106, new course, CLAS 315, Greek Art:

315 Greek Art (ARTH 311) (3)

Explores the development of the Greek art corpus including influences and techniques from pre-Greek cultures. The course focuses on art and architectural concepts that underlie Greek artistic expressions, placement of art and architecture within historical context, and technical advances. There is an emphasis on major artists and architects whose works have became part of our world cultural heritage. Even years Spring.

Add: On page 106, new course, CLAS 316, Roman Art:

316 Roman Art (ARTH 312) (3)

Explores the development of the Roman art corpus from the Roman Republic to the Late Roman Empire and Early Christian period including influences and techniques from Greek and Etruscan cultures. The course focuses on art and architectural concepts that underlie Roman artistic expressions, placement of art and architecture within historical context, and technical advances. There is an emphasis on major artists and architects whose works have became part of our world cultural heritage. Odd years Spring.

Impact: 

Separating Greek from Roman art enables students to deepen their knowledge of one or both of these areas.

Rationale:

In its former incarnation, Greek and Roman Art (CLAS 314) was cross-listed as one ARTH course. When the ARTH faculty reworked their curriculum, they considered it academically preferable to offer separate classes in Greek and Roman art. We are therefore bringing our catalog entry into line with theirs. No impact on resource allocation is expected. Course descriptions here are the same as those for ARTH 311 and 312.

Impact:

None. The courses are already being taught as cross-listed courses.

Rationale:

Editorial changes required for the cross-listing.
