Offered each semester. Prehistoric, ancient, classical, and medieval periods. Lectures with slides, films, and readings.

In-class lectures, discussions and activities will be reinforced by an exploration of art museums and architecture in and around Innsbruck. Paintings, sculpture and architecture touch us more deeply when we have the opportunity to actually interact with them in person. Our location in Innsbruck will provide many such opportunities for interaction with the "real thing." Although this is a survey course, which covers general art history information over a broad period of time, we will focus more closely on subjects and time periods which directly relate to Austria and Germany. 

The University of New Orleans International Summer School program has a mandatory class attendance policy. All students are required to attend class for all morning classes and any required afternoon and/or weekend fields trips and lectures. No unexcused absences are allowed. However, LFU students who have to miss a UNO class due to LFU examinations in the first two weeks of our program, can receive one excused absence for this. Any further unexcused absences will result in an academic penalty. Each faculty member determines the penalty for missed classes. Most professors deduct a letter grade for each additional missed class day. For details, please refer to your course syllabi, which will be distributed on the first day of class. The listed ECTS credits are a recommendation by the University of New Orleans Innsbruck Summer School, based on contact hours, anticipated out-of-classroom requirements such as field trips, and projected workload for readings, assignments, and exam preparation.
