Islamic Art

Dr. Fran Altvater will come and speak to the class the Monday after spring break on Islamic Art.

She has asked that you take a look at this website and read both the "History" and "Art" sections for the "Early Islamic Period," "Early Medieval Period" and "Late Medieval Period."

For your blog posting, please comment on the ways in which certain cultures borrow from other cultures - why, how, etc.

Also - come up with a question that you can ask Professor Altvater.
