Early Medieval Art in Europe

The Art History credentials document competencies including knowledge of world art, fine and applied art, and the historical events and people that influenced and created historical art. Though many positions in art history require appropriate education at various levels and additional training, a fundamental understanding of art history provides foundational knowledge that supports many aspects of daily tasks and decision-making for artists, teachers, art therapists, tour guides, librarians, curators, designers, and researchers. Specifically, this badge demonstrates the earner's ability to identify early Medieval art, including examples of art from this period, historical events from this time period, locations of art from this time period, and characteristics of early Medieval art.
