Global Art Students Explore Ancient Art and History at Cahokia Archaeological Site

Heidi Cook, associate professor of art, recently took students in her ART 222: Global Art to 1400 course on a field trip to Cahokia Mounds Archaeological Site in Collinsville, Illinois. Students were able to experience the scale of the city of Cahokia, which flourished from the 10th to the 12th centuries, and learned about Mississippian culture, art and history. They also enjoyed trying their hand at the Native American game Chunkey.
