ART 210 Diverse Perspectives in American Art
This course introduces students to the diversity of perspectives that Americans have brought to the visual arts from the colonial period to the present. We will pay particular attention to the role that race, ethnicity, class, and gender play in the creation and viewing of art and the ability to participate in the art world at large. We will also examine the ways that the diverse perspectives of artists in the United States have shaped the discourse of American Art and its reception abroad. This course applies to the IAI General Education Core Curriculum Fine Arts and Humanities package and provides diversity credit.
