Introduction

Our textbook, Arts 101: Art and Architecture from the Prehistoric World through the Medieval World, uses open-access resources that were written by peer-reviewed experts on the topics.  Most of the content of our book is taken from Smarthistory (https://smarthistory.org/) which aims to share information about art and architecture to all people at little or no cost.

How to access content:  You can reach each Unit and chapter from the Content drop-down menu at left.  Each chapter is broken into sections which can guide your reading.  The plus sign + indicates a chapter or section.

This text is being built over this academic year.  If you see errors (spelling, syntax and content)  – please post in our course Discussion Thread for this book.  If you find other exciting information that might be a great addition to the course, you should add that, too.
