ART 295 — African-American Art
This course examines the role of African-American artists from the Antebellum period to Contemporary Art. It focuses on historical, social, and political contexts, meanings, and will promote a general understanding of the development of art forms and styles from different periods. Although emphasis is placed on visual traditions of sculpture, painting, performance art, photography, video, and media technologies, focus will also be placed on "folk art" traditions. A visit to a museum is required.
