Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0250 - Vagabonding Images

The significance of artistic practice aims beyond the artist's capability to create an illusion of reality. Art is teaching us to reinterpret the world and develop utopias. This course offers students to explore abstraction and non-representational painting and will also investigate the indistinct border between painting and installation art. Students are encouraged -through readings, digital image lectures, and assignments- to develop an individual approach to the subject matter. This course will address issues such as alternative methods of image making, composition and color theory, while exploring transcultural abstract art in its various manifestations. We will also investigate abstract art in relation to political activism. This course is open to students who completed a studio-art/film course on an introductory level in addition to an art theory course.

Independent Work Multiple Cultural Perspectives Lab fee: $35. Field trip fee: $45. Prerequisites: one introductory studio-art/film course, one art theory course. Students are expected to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time.
