HART408 Stained Glass: Histories, Contexts, Interpretations 3cr

in-depth exploration of the medium of stained

glass and its long life, from its medieval

origins to modern collecting, revival, and

conservation. Stained glass was an integral

component of

medieval religious buildings and remains an

object of fascination and interpretation in the

modern era. The class will take the greatest

possible

advantage of old and new stained glass in local

collections and churches to gain a first-hand

understanding of the medium. Course work includes

weekly reading, writing, and discussion of

current professional scholarship in the field,

and a

guided independent research project.

Prerequisites: HART-100 and any 200 or 300 level HART course.
