Join new FSC Assistant Professor of Art History Dr. Andrew Crocker for a three-week course in art history at the AGB Museum of Art! In this series of lectures, attendees will examine how we understand the ancient world and how artists and viewers in antiquity understand their own past.

The lectures cover a wide range of materials, including Greek vase painting, Roman frescoes, Christian destruction of pagan statues, and more recent artistic movements that were shaped by ancient art and have shaped our understanding of ancient art in turn.

No background in ancient art is required to participate. Seats are limited, so reserve yours today on our website!
