Students will have a deeper understanding of the ancient world, with a completed portfolio of art projects at the end of the session to help bring that understanding to life. 

As a history major, I often found the raw material dry, especially if my professors or teaching assistants lacked enthusiam for the subject.  But as I connected historical events to art and art history, it helped the dry facts come to life and play out in my mind like a movie.  I hope this class makes that connection for my students, bringing rcolor and life to the events of our past.
