American Art of the 1930s and 1940s, including Regionalism, Social Realism, the Federal Art Project and the Mural Movement both in the US and Mexico. Using a variety of perspectives, we will examine art that was labeled as "American Scene," and will discuss and problematize that very categorization. Through an examination of 1930s politics, Depression-era America, European modernism, cultural nationalism, and racialism, we will investigate the age-old question: "What is American about American Art?" and will look at artists who wanted to create a national art as well as those who resisted such an impulse. Artists include: John Stuart Curry, Grant Wood, Diego Rivera, Aaron Douglas, Charles Burchfield, Reginald Marsh, Jacob Lawrence, Thomas Hart Benton, Stuart Davis, Frida Kahlo, Jose Clemente Orozco, Romare Bearden, Andrew Wyeth, David Alfaro Siquieros, and Edward Hopper. The course will combine discussions with visits to local museums, and will feature a class field trip to see the 2007 Edward Hopper special exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective Friday, March 13, 2009 Page C8 of 9

Photographic technologies and modernism in the 1920s and 30s. During the years between the end of World War 1 and the beginning of World War II, avant-garde groups and modern artists, theorists and critics, eagerly explored the artistic and cultural promises of photography and film for a new vision of art. Their accomplishments and ideas continue to inspire and influence artists in the 21st century. In this course we will study European (mostly) and American developments, ranging from Constructivism and the Bauhaus, Brancusi's use of photography, Surrealism, the Film and Photo League, and the writings of Walter Benjamin and Siegfried Kracauer. Students will write research papers and give presentations on their work to the class. Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective

3.00 Credits
This seminar is about learning different ways of seeing, thinking, and writing about art. This course is to introduce the students to a repertoire of usable methods of approach to art. We will examine some basic and enduring issues in art-making and art history, such as style, meaning, story-telling, art and political power, art and class and gender, mass production, the idea of progress, and selfand- other. We will also critically examine the roles and problems of the institution of art museum. For the chosen topics, paring two or more authors from reading and talking about the points of confluence and disparity between them allows students to address larger issues and to develop their own thesis. Carefully examining artworks that support or challenge the arguments in the readings will allow students to clarify their own ideas. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: all college elective

Today there are numerous approaches to the thinking and writing of art history each claiming, or implicitly assuming, greater validity than its rivals. The inquisitive student might very well ask "how did this situation come about?" Further curiosity might lead to the question "what is art history, really?" In this course we will not aim primarily to answer the second, ultimate question, which would entail philosophical approaches to our subject. We will, however, come closer to answering the first question. Our approach to art history will be itself historical. Throughout its history and development art history has been many things; that is, art history's axioms, or basic assumptions, have varied greatly throughout its history, and the multiple "varieties" of older art history underlie the art histories of the present day. In order to study the history of art history effectively we will read with extreme care examples of art historical writings from the past 125 years in order to penetrate to the level of the writers' assumptions about what constitutes art historical understanding. 3 credits Prerequisites: HART100 Type: lecture/seminar(3hrs) Culturally Diverse Content Enrollment: Friday, March 13, 2009 Page C9 of 9
