	The Islamic art collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, LACMA
		The art of Islamic Spain during this period is somewhat less inventive and energetic than that produced elsewhere, which may have to do with the relative isolation of Spain and North Africa under conservative Almoravid and Almohad rule.
		Architectural decoration, the arts of the book, textiles, glass, metalwork, and pottery all attained a high level, enriched by a decorative vocabulary that was frequently dominated by figural representation.
		In the early medieval period metalworkers began to cover large areas of the base metal surface with decoration inlaid in copper and silver, gold and silver, or silver alone, perhaps as a less costly means of imitating the richness of objects fashioned entirely of precious metal.

		Pre-Romanesque art is the period from the crowning of Charlemagne in 800 to the start of the Romaneque period in the 12th century.

	Art History 201: Ancient and Medieval Art (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		We will discuss problems of the social context of art: its historical circumstances, religious and ritual significance, patronage, the influence of the individual artist, and the role of those who have been the viewers of art.
		However, to understand the history of art you will need to know relevant information about the objects we will work with: identification, location, dates, makers, etc. This is the basic information of art history; without knowing the works of art themselves, you won’t be able to gain a coherent understanding of their history.
		For example, the art from Mycenaean shaft graves is not dated by any contemporary historical evidence, and estimated dates vary widely, so a date anywhere within 50 years of the date Gardner provides would be acceptable.
