ART 221 Global Art and Architecture II

This course is an introduction to art and architecture of the modern world. Beginning with global examples of early modern art (ca. 1500), we progress in a roughly chronological fashion up to the present day. We will examine a variety of mediums, including textiles, painting, printmaking, sculpture, architecture, textiles, performance art and video art, in their social, political and cultural context. Stressing the fundamental interconnectivity of our world and the generative nature of intercultural exchange, this course also seeks to develop the skills of visual literacy that are fundamental to our own image-driven world.
