This course will examine the public art and architecture of Washington, D.C. and its major institutions. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the architecture and art of the Capital city as expressions of the political, social and moral climate of the nation at particular points in history, and of western culture in general. Lectures and related class tours will explore several major categories of Washington's visual cultural environment: museum highlights and issues of collection and display; American national identity as expressed through public sculpture, monuments, and memorials; and the visual rhetoric of architecture. Lectures and tours will encourage the study of various objects and sites from a critical perspective. This is a discussion-intensive class. Prerequisites: One course in art history, or sophomore standing and one course in the humanities or fine arts. 3 credits. (F,S,Y)

Critically explores various avant-garde strategies used since 1960, when artists' practices radically changed. At that time, different working methods combining different media -- and challenging long-held notions of art, artists, society, and even reality -- were introduced. The question, But is it art is one of the central issues debated. Focus on the so-called failure of modernist art, and how postmodernist, postcolonialist, and postfeminist issues define artistic practice today. Satisfies the "art, visual culture, or architecture after the year 1750" requirement in the major. Prerequisites: One course in the humanities or fine arts. 3 credits. (IRR)

The course focuses on Latino art in the United States during the 20th century, while periodically reaching back further in time to provide historical perspective. Special emphasis will be placed on the Chicano/a, Puerto Rican, Cuban-American artistic cultures, as well as New York City's role as an artistic magnet, although students are encouraged to pursue research that takes them more broadly into the field of Latino art. Topics to be considered include the relative coherence of the category "Latino art," the role of art in the construction of tradition and community, the borderlands as place and concept, and the relevance of the arts in the contemporary debate over immigration. Prerequisites: One course in art history, or sophomore standing and one course in the humanities or fine arts.

Installation art is a genre of Western Contemporary art that came to prominence in the 1970s. Installation artists use sculptural material and other media to modify the way in which a viewer experiences a particular space. In this instance landscape designer Mary Zebell uses the ephemeral material of snow fencing to represent the collective loss we as a society face from contemporary tragedies such as the Iraqi War and the AIDS crisi, which affect not only individuals and communities, but on humanity. This mini-course provides students with the opportunity to work with Handwerker Gallery Director Cheryl Kramer and artist Mary Zebell in preparing, installing and striking The Count, a site-specific installation in conjunction with the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival. Students are required to complete a series of readings and lectures/demonstrations prior to working on the installation.

Prerequisites: Junior standing; ARTH 11300 or 11400; ART 13000; and ARTH 20900, ARTH 22200, ARTH 23200, ARTH 23300, or ARTH 24000. 4 credits. (F,Y)

This course builds on skills introduced in ARTH 30100, moving from the scale of the individual architectural object to consideration of the building in its broader urban and natural environment. Basic techniques of drawing and 3-D modeling are further developed with exposure to more advanced representational challenges and digital tools. Tompkins County and its environs will serve as a locus for studio projects focused on the intelligent integration of built and natural form. Targeted exploration of such themes as ecologically sensitive siting, sustainable use of materials, and harmonization with natural forces for reduced energy consumption will occur through focused exercises and a culminating semester project. Prerequisites: ARTH 30100. 4 credits. (S,Y)
