HAAVC 3000 seminars continue developing students' visual analysis and research skills while providing students 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 specific topic/theme. 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. This course cannot fulfill the HAAVC 2000 requirement.This course is a specialized survey of the art and culture of the 1960 in the United States, Europe, Japan, china, and the middle-east. Throughout the semester, we will examine the art of the 1960s. The objective of this class is to give both an overview of the major movements and artists of this period and a critical analysis of the context in which these objects were produced. The lectures for each week will be complemented by critical readings –including artists’ statements, literary sources, and contemporary art historical commentary. We will address issues in the vocabulary of art and in specific artists’ intellectual contexts –political, social, or even personal –in order to engage these works of art on a serious level. Over the semester we will listen to music, watch movies, and read poetry in an attempt to understand the entire environment of the period we are studying.
