SOCI 125 — Art and Society
This course will explore the many facets where Art and Society collide through lecture, discussion, film and analyzing various modes of artistic expression. Topics such as culture, inequality, class, rac e, gender, and public art will be viewed with a global approach through historical and contemporary lenses. Although we do not think of art as social, it is the product of extensive social networks and often reflects or challenges in the social context und er which it is produced. Students will develop fundamental art and sociological concepts through writing exercises, observations, and a final independently guided project.
