Comparative Civilizations 12 is a course which will allow students to develop a basic understanding of the evolution of western art forms from the time of Old Kingdom Egypt to the 17^th century. The main focus is on developments in Europe, but there are two non-European units – Ancient Egypt and Islamic Civilization. This examination demonstrates how cultural interchange has produced growth and change. The course will look at trends in architecture, painting, philosophy, sculpture, philosophy, poetry and music.
