Innovation Hall - Hybrid
Section Information for Spring 2021
This class covers the history of art in the United States, told through 100 objects. Inspired by the British Museum’s A History of the World in 100 Objects, we will discuss artworks made in the lands that became the United States, from around 1000 AD to the present. This course does not move chronologically. Instead, thematic weekly modules focus closely on a small selection of featured objects and allow us to explore resonances in American art across time. Some themes include: Nation, Food, Climate/Landscape, Storytelling, and Dissent. To reflect the diverse experiences and backgrounds of people across the United States, the chosen objects will prominently feature artists who are Black, Indigenous, people of color, Queer, women, and/or members of religious minorities. This class will have one weekly face-to-face meeting and the rest of the class activities will be completed asynchronously.
ARTH 370 001 is a hybrid distance education section.
