Whether or not you are joining us for OLLI’s Greece study-abroad trip next summer, this course will give you a chance to understand how architecture, painting and sculpture evolved in ancient Greece. We will study examples from the Geometric to Hellenistic Periods and decipher why the Greek fine arts are considered the paradigmatic humanistic artistic expressions.

When we study this period we better understand ourselves and our civilization
