Section Information for Spring 2022

This course will expose students to the fundamentals of viewing and interpreting visual art. Students will first learn about the materials, techniques, and visual elements artists have used to produce works of art. The remainder of the course will survey how artists from the late 18th century to the present have used their art to communicate ideas, produce change, respond to major global events, and push the boundaries of what art can be. The primary focus of this course will be the United States and Europe, but artworks from Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia will also be considered in comparative perspective.
