Course Description: Hip hop is everywhere, shaping the style and subject matter of today's visual culture, from magazines, clothing and design, to the art world itself, as seen in galleries and museums. But what is it How can it be defined A culture is defined by both its roots and by its present use. Many of the elements of the culture can be easily traced back to its home in The Bronx in the early 70's. Its impact on our visual culture is both a reflection of the growing influence of Afro-American aesthestics, as well as the dominance of pop culture. Hip hop elements can be seen in the paintings of Jean Michael Basquiat, through contemporary artists such as Barry McGee, Christian Marclay and Kahinde Wiley. Beneath the obvious stylistic differences between these artists are concepts of hip hop practice which permeate today's visual culture. This impact of hip hop reflects an important shift in the changing values in America.

Understanding artistic concepts will be stressed, as opposed to mastering artistic techniques; an open mind is required, although artistic ability is not.

Course Description: Within the social and political upheaval of the 1960's, 1968 stands out as perhaps the most turbulent and violent year of all. Soaring casualties in Vietnam, the assassinations of King and Kennedy, urban riots against racism and poverty, student strikes and takeovers at universities, even bra-burning protests against Miss America: as Americans lurched from crisis to crisis, it seemed that no institution, no tradition was safe and that the nation itself was coming apart at the seams-in many cases, with live TV coverage. In the tradition of centuries, artists used their art as a vehicle to expose and protest against the social and political conditions of their time. this Learning Community uses 1968 as the focal point for examining the ways in which art, politics, and society can interact and influence one another. Drawing on art works and magazines, film, music, and both fiction and nonfiction readings from the period, students will explore the way in which the arts of 1968 both reflected and supported the social and political activism of the 1960's. Joint field trips and guest lectures are planned. 3.000 Credit Hours 3.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Independent Study, Lecture, Tutorial, Online Course Dyson College Arts & Sciences College Art Department Course Attributes: Area of Knowledge IV, Inquiry and Exploration, Learning Community
