As a result, Aztec art, thought, and culture reflect an eclectic mixture of the many peoples and cultures of the empire. Explores the origins, art, language, and culture of a Mesoamerican civilization that was unique for its emphasis on human heart excision, but exclusively Mesoamerican in its art, architecture, and ideology. Formerly known as SBSC 325.
Reflective Narrative:
This course was unique and talked about one of the oldest civilizations in the Americas. In class, we were exposed to document, videos, artefacts, and many other items. The course slightly talked about many different aspect of the Aztec Empire, from its origins to its decline, or from its works of art to their food. To expand our knowledge, we are given the option to create a 10-page research paper or an art project with a 6-page document. I opted to the art project to have a better understanding of things were designed and done during this period.
