Since this is a survey course, and it is impossible to include every kind of art object produced in these areas, I expect students to learn to recognize the most typical art styles and thus be given a visual background for more advanced courses in Anthropology and the Fine Arts. It is not enough to consider the mutual entanglement of Nature and man in relation to aesthetic feeling or the perception of beauty. Recognize the value, both artistically and culturally, of tribal art throughout the world. Understand the relationship between art and society in tribal art. Recognize the typical art styles of the areas covered in this course.
Regular attendance is essential.
Students must complete all exercises as assigned. All students are required to do a final project. Regular attendance is essential. Students with four or more absenses may be dropped from the course. Because of the nature of the class presentation, slides and movies, there is no way to make up missed classes.
