Are you passionate about art and want to work on excavations around the world? This program will help you achieve it" 

Art has become a universal means for human beings to express themselves. This has been the case since the era of the first men, who painted their experiences in caves to tell others where food was stored or even how to properly hunt prey. Therefore, drawing techniques have been fundamental for the development of archeology, since they allow us to understand concepts that cannot be expressed in words.  

In this sense, studying history through Art and Archeology is fundamental to organize the information in a coherent manner and favor the transmission of knowledge to future generations. In addition to training any specialist to carry out studies to determine the veracity of a canvas or to participate in its restoration. For all these reasons, this professional master’s degree has been designed to help students achieve various professional objectives, from participating in Greco-Roman-inspired urban planning works to working on archeological excavations from anywhere in the world.  

Thus, the program begins by exploring the contributions of ancient history and its influence on the cultural, political and socioeconomic foundations of today, prioritizing the lines of thought of each people. Then, the origins of the history of art and certain basic elements of anthropology and archeology will be analyzed, the former being responsible for studying the human being in an integral way, taking into account the feature that they do not share with animals: culture.  

A distinction will also be made between the art and culture of India, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, taking into account a key period in these societies: the Middle Ages. On the other hand, students will be motivated to recognize the characters of classical mythology, such as Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, among others; comparing their iconographies with those found in the Christian religion.
