This year we will explore how population and cultural movement intersects with art across the globe. Art exists for so many reasons, but one of the most important is to teach, and art has often served as a visual aid to our world's political regims and religions. Topics covered include ancient Assyrian art, Medieval Christian art and architecture, Judaic art and symbolism, and Viking conquest. After that we spend the second half of the year looking at the United States with art from Hawaii, slavery and the Civil Rights movement.
