VA 3100 - Visual Culture: Warhol to the Present

Credits: 4
This course examines the role of art in a contemporary society inundated with visual imagery. We will situate the major art movements of the 1960s and 70s (Pop, Minimalism, Conceptual Art, Performance and Post Modernism) within the socio- historical context of the Civil Rights Movement, the Vietnam War and the development of contemporary technologies. The course considers how contemporary art comments upon such diverse issues of race, gender and sexuality. We will also look at how the critic, the gallery, and the museum help to determine how art is defined. Required for all Art majors.
