Description:
COURSE DESCRIPTIONHAAVC 2000 courses develop students' visual analysis skills while providing the opportunity for in-depth study of the visual/structural artifacts associated with a particular topic, region, or movement. Students will also engage with the relevant primary/secondary literature for the topic at hand. Courses will pay particular attention to the larger cultural, historical, and theoretical/ideological contexts in which the visual artifacts and structures under consideration were created.SECTION DESCRIPTION
Contemporary African-American Art is a topical look at currents in African- American art, visual and sonic culture. The course will focus on depth rather than breadth of information, eschewing the standard “survey approach.” Instead, more time will be placed upon investigating a tightly focused selection of artists and ideas from the Black arts and Civil Rights intersections of the 1960s to the contemporary performance art practices of Julianne Huxtable today. The course will require keeping up with the readings and places emphasis on smaller writing assignments. All writing assignments will be expected to reflect a student’s creative viewpoints and arguments, his/her demonstration of mastery of the course readings and ideas, as well as his/her organizational structures and writing styles.
