The Lore of Likeness
This curriculum is intended for secondary students and undergraduates seeking to broaden and deepen their knowledge of representational art. Much art will also be referenced in the general history curricula, as reflective of a given era and shifting aesthetic values in society, but here we will focus on the interpretation of representational and symbolic artwork across time, primarily painting, illustration, and photography, both in the realm of the fine arts and popular media.
