Art Intro, 200X
No, it's not about Art per se. About art and theatre, art and film.
The whole design of this class is to compare and to see how one form is used in another forms (Fine Art and Films). I doupt that one can understand film grammar without understanding of principles of art composition. Fine Art is the "silent" DRAMA.
Each great painting has its own secret.
And I haven't even touched the photography!
See Visual Composition in Directing Directory (StageMatrix)!
Film -- Drama (Theatre) -- Art
Historical (chronology):
Art > Theatre > Film
Art is the oldest!
so, we will arrange the pages in this ART directory strating with the Language, them Grammer -- Shot/Cut, Montage, Sound & PictureColor as a case study!

Summary
Periods and Styles. Society (its historical forms) and Technology. Politics and State.
Questions
Religion, Phylosophy and Art. What is "Western civilization"? Rome and Byzantin. West and East. Individualism. North and South. National cultures.
What are the pix for, Anatoly?
1. Egypt, 2. Romans and the Greeks -- One God or Many? Judaism and Islam.
What is "Classic"? Harmony could be found in Color, masses, light, lines, shapes... or all together, if this is a masterpiece. That is what the pix are for! Look how Mattisse (Blue Nude) show the fluidity of human forms; he tries to do what film does -- to show the motion!
Christianity and "Dark Ages."
