Teaching with Art: The Art and Archaeology of
Maya Civilization
September 24, 2011­February 5, 2012


In fall 2011, Professor Antonia Foias organized the exhibition Teaching with Art: Maya Civilization in our
teaching gallery in support for two courses, including Anthropology 219 (also Art History 209), "The Art
and Archaeology of Maya Civilization: A Marriage Made in Xibalba." As part of the final project, students
in this course wrote labels for the artworks in the exhibition. The following is an exhibition guide
comprised of the student-generated texts.
