Description:

LEC. 3 hrs., LAB 0 hrs. This course satisfies the General Education requirement for all majors except Visual Arts and Design American Art embarks on a visual journey to the sacred sites and allows you to hold with your eyes the spiritual art objects of the Native Americans. The journey then continues through lectures, slide and video presentations, with the colonization of the Americans, bringing arts, crafts, and architecture, across the Atlantic. The birth of a new nation also delivered a new and uniquely American vision. From the early limners, to the great American portrait painters, Eakins and Sargeant; from the art of slaves to the visual jazz of Jacob Lawrence; from Spanish missions to the political murals of Diego Rivera; from the majestic landscapes of Frederick Church, to the Rock and Roll of Robert Raushenberg and Andy Warhol; American Art is a wild ride.
