=** Pre-Columbian Art And Culture **=

This interest group explores questions about Pre- Columbian Art and Culture using the latest research. Who were the Olmec? What was their cosmology/world view? What is the meaning of the mysterious sculptural groups?

The Maya created on of only five written languages. We will look at this. Also they're intricate merging of three different calendars.

What IS the actual relationship between the Olmec and the Maya? A lot of new information since 2006.

We will use lecture material from, among others, Prof. Edwin Barnhardt and Linda Sheile, both of UT-Austin and visuals from my collections and hopefully yours!
