Other Course Description or Assignment Information:

-This course will survey the migration of the arts from antiquity through to the twenty‑first century. It will ask the student to consider art in the broad meta-history/comparative literature sense. As art is seldom bound to 'place', the course will trouble the idea of 'tradition' and question essentialized notions of 'authenticity'. While not dwelling on the particular evolution of any single art form, the course will demonstrate how each connects to a sometimes unrecognizable past and links to an unpredictable future..-To view course outlines from previous offerings of this course (if available), please visit: https://www.guelphhumber.ca/academic-services/course-outlines- Classes held on University of Guelph-Humber campus (Toronto).
