ARTH 125 — Art and Society
This course will explore the many facets where Art and Society collide through lecture, disc ussion, film and analyzing various modes of artistic expression. Topics such as culture, inequality, class, race, gender, and public art will be viewed with a global approach through historical and contemporary lenses. Although we do not think of art as so cial, it is the product of extensive socia l networks and often reflects o r challenges in the social context under which it is produced. Students will develop fundamental art and sociological concepts through writing exercises, observations, and a final ind ependently guided project. Prerequisite(s): ENGL-100 or ENGL-101 Corequisite(s): none
