ARTH 419 - Themes in Contemporary Art 3 Credit Hours
This seminar critiques visual and media arts from approximately 1970 to the present. It investigates how Modernism and Post-Modernism, as cultural and aesthetic forces, have both converged and competed in the so-called Art World, an increasingly pluralistic, global subculture as well as economic market. Primarily addressing the Visual Arts or museum-based tradition, a series of themes, including the body, time, place, language, spirituality and identity, negotiate creative practices as a sensemaking apparatus, existing in an interdisciplinary, contemporary sphere. The course stresses writing craft as it pertains to the description of works of art and the interpretation of primary sources.
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 102 or CRWS 102 , either ARTH 191 or ARTH 250 are recommended.
This course will satisfy the core requirement in multicultural studies.
