ARTH 286 - Art of the 1960s and 70s 3 hours
Focusing on movements such as Minimalism, Pop Art, Process Art, Body Art, Performance Art, Earthworks, and Conceptual Art, the goal for this course is to create a coherent context within which to introduce artists and themes while forging a discussion that recognizes the revolutionary character of American art from approximately 1960-1975. Because the United Statesin the 1960s and 1970s increased technological development, called for social reform such as feminism and Civil Rights, and existed amidst the ever-present backdrop of the Vietnam War, we pay particular attention to the interdependency between the form of the art produced and the world around it, such as film, television, graphic art, music, and other forms of “popular culture”. Our engagement will evolve from introductory lectures, readings, written analyses, and research discussed and presented in class.
This course satisfies the fine arts core area requirement.
