The Human Figure in Sculpture

The development and representation of the human form in art is one of the critical moments in the canon of art history. Realistic depiction in form marks the Classical time period in Greek art, and helps to establish the Renaissance with a renewed awareness of contrapposto.  As the history of art moves forward, representation of the human form also evolves becoming more expressive and more abstract. This class will look at the representation and evolution of the human form through sculpture.
