    This is a studio course for serious art students who have taken at least four or five courses in the visual arts, of which at least two must be upper level studio courses. This course is a precursor to Advanced Visual Art, the capstone course in the Visual Arts major. This course will involve problems in contemporary art, which are centered on "identity" and "culture". They will be able to be solved in a variety of, or combinations of, mediums. Students in the class will be expected to have concentrations in Drawing and Painting, Sculpture, Art and Technology or Photography. Your challenge will be to solve the problems presented by mining your individual histories in the context of your concentrations. The course will emphasize an intuitive visual response (the creation of visual metaphors) for your ideas. Identity and culture comprise some of the most prevalent issues in contemporary art. These issues have produced some of the strongest work of the late 20th early 21st century. We will look at, through slide lectures and selected readings a number of artists such as Cindy Sherman, Carole Lee Schneeman, Orlan, Judy Chicago, Christian Boltanski, Chris Ofili and Robert Mapplethope, among many others. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Studio Contemporary Arts College Art Department
