HA 214
/ CAAS 214 This course covers key issues regarding the last century's African-American painting, sculpture, photography, and mixed media art. Moving through the material chronologically, we will discuss a variety of styles, cultural and social history, patronage, and critical reception. We will also examine the benefits and problems of studying the production of artists of color as a separate field, considering alternatives to the broad category of "African-American art" and the outlook for new, critical methodologies. The course is an opportunity for students to expand their descriptive and analytical skills through oral participation in class and reasoned writing on exams and in short papers. Cost: 2 (Francis) |
