VISST-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 VISST-2000 requirement.COURSE DESCRIPTIONThe course will cover major events in Mexican art from approximately 1910 to 1970, including the end of academic art, Mexican muralism, Stridentism and other avant-gardes, the Open Air Schools, photography, architecture, the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema, and ending with José Luis Cuevas and the struggles around Mexico '68. This course will appeal to those interested in Mexican culture and politicized art practices. The course will also consider Mexican modernism's legacy in the Bay Area, and include field trips to SFMOMA to see Diego Rivera’s America exhibition, among other sites.
