About
The Great Courses is a collection of courses on a variety of topics, taught by renowned professors and other experts. Courses consist of a series of half-hour video lectures, and do not include any reading, assignments or tests. The academic lectures are usual comparable to those of introductory university courses.
Great Courses can be pricey if purchased individually, but a subscription to the entire Great Courses Signature Collection (including this course) can be added to an Amazon Prime account for less than $10 per month. Many Great Courses are also available from public libraries. We recommend having the student browse the available courses and take any that are of interest, in addition to those included in the Great Books Homeschool curriculum.
This series covers ancient art and architecture from around the world, as a prelude to focusing on the medieval through early modern period during the remainder of the course. It consists of 36 lectures, and can be completed in four months at a rate of two lectures per week.
