Explore all the possibilities of making marks in an experimental drawing course that will explode all notions of what a drawing can be. Designed for beginning through advanced students, this studio class will push the limits of expressive form through a series of demonstrations, lectures, assignments, and the maintenance of experimental sketchbooks. Emphasis will be placed on finding a personal voice, and exploring the relationship between subject matter and chosen media. Students will be taught traditional drawing techniques and media, but will also be encouraged to experiment with unconventional methods such as embroidery, scratching, burning, and the use of materials such as glitter, beauty products, insect prints, and stains from everyday liquids. Students enrolled in this course will have a course fee assessed to their student account. Additional information can be found at http://art.cua.edu/courses/courses.cfm.

An in-depth exploration of American art and culture during and after the Age of Lincoln, beginning in 1809, the year of Lincoln's birth, and culminating with the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s. The focus of the course will be the visual arts,painting, sculpture, and photography, but we will also read important literary works and learn how original forms of American music and art developed during and after the Civil War in response to Lincoln's vision of human liberty and the reconstruction of a democratic and united states of America. Topics include: the work of artists whose careers and artistic production were affected by the Civil War and Reconstruction; the invention of photography and its use during the Civil War; the conquest and settlement of the west and its effect on landscape painting and the formation of a national identity; and the Harlem Renaissance, an artistic and literary movement based in New York, whose creative and intellectual production was a response to the continued exclusion of African American artists from mainstream cultural, economic, and political institutions that had marked the 19th century and continued in the 20th century. Visits to Washington art museums and monuments are an integral part of the course.

An illustrated study of the art, life, and legacy of Vincent van Gogh, the nineteenth century Dutch painter whose tragic life story and brilliant artistic production have assumed almost mythic proportions in modern Western culture. Considers the relationship of van Gogh's work to that of his contemporaries in Europe, as well as the unique contribution that his painting has made to the development of vanguard Modernism. Also investigates the relationship between biography and historiography in the formulation of van Gogh's popular image as a tormented visionary genius whose evocative and poignant painting was marked (if not also motivated) by suffering and despair.

This seminar will examine the historic life and remarkable work of Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti, and Raphael Santi, arguably the three most consequential figures in Western Art. We will focus on the significant relationship, and sometime rivalry, between these figures. We will also evaluate the dynamic theoretical, theological, philosophical, political, and economic contexts from which masterworks like the Last Supper, Sistine Ceiling, and Vatican Stanze emerged. Furthermore, we will examine these artists¿ seminal roles in shaping many of the notions we associate with the modern artist, including concepts such as artistic genius and subjectivity. Throughout the seminar, students will approach the material critically coming to terms with issues of historical interpretation itself.
