Chapter 5-Greek- pp. 102-161 (15th edition of Gardner’s) Focus.

Is Man Really the Measure of All Things? Greek art and architecture influence other cultures. Earlier cultures stressed continuous artistic tradition. Greeks emphasized change. Romans emphasized adaptation. What you learn of both will help as we go through the rest of Art History I. Greeks were the thinkers. Romans were the doers.

Chapter 6-The Etruscans pp. 162-175 (15th edition of Gardner’s) To focus your reading. From Greece, we head for the Roman Republic and Empire. Before then, however, we stop in Etruria. They were pirates, armorers and metal-smiths, ceramic sculptors, had an extensive demonology. Women retained their own names and held property and shared equally at celebrations-at least upper class women did. They had an elaborate cult of death. p 163-Framing the Era p 168-Art & Society p 164-Map & Timeline p 169-Problems & Solutions p 165-Religion & Mythology p 175-The Big Picture p 166-Written Sources

“Captive Greece Made Rome Captive” We stopped in Etruria, a culture eventually suppressed by the Romans. The political reach of the Roman Empire defined art in the future. Their loose, expressive attitude toward Classic Greek reappears in Western art. Rome inherited and adapted Greek style, leaving its own stamp. p 177-Framing the Era p 186-Written Sources p 208-Problems & Solutions p 178-Map & Timeline p 188-Art & Society p 211-Problems & Solutions p 179-Art & Society p 197-The Patron’s Voice p 212-Written Sources p 182-Architectural Basics p 199-Written Sources p 217-Materials & Techniques p 183-Art & Society p 201-Written Sources p 224-Problems & Solutions p 185-Art & Society p 202-Art & Society p 229-The Big Picture
