A global survey of art from the Upper Paleolithic period to the end of the thirteenth century.

This course offers a survey of art and architecture from the earliest evidence of human activity (Cave Art) through the European Middle Ages (13th Century) in Europe. The course is structured around in-class lectures and occasional writing assignments. Additionally, Innsbruck’s position in the middle of Europe offers you, as the student, the unique opportunity to visit and study many of the major works of European art first hand through your independent travels outside of class during afternoons and weekends.

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.
