The Aztecs of Mexico were the last of the great indigenous empires of the Americas. This course studies how they used art and architecture to align themselves to the larger cosmos and to connect their empire to past Mesoamerican civilizations and project it into the future. Students will gain experience analyzing and writing about Aztec art works in Yale collections, and contributing to existing Wikipedia entries on Aztec art and architecture.
