ARTH 3100 - Exploring Contemporary Visual Art Hours: 4

Linda Weintraub notes that artistic freedom expanded beyond all limits in this period, becoming “unencumbered by methods, rules, and requirements” and making artists our culture’s “free radicals.” We will consider the different roles taken on by contemporary artists as visionaries, activists, problem solvers, and cultural critics as they create works connected to the world outside art. Our approach focuses on how contemporary artists have engaged with particular themes and content relevant to this period, such as identity, place, and spirituality.

ARTH 3300 - Gender and Sexuality in Art History Hours: 4
The history of European and American art is replete with images of the human body: sacred bodies and sexy bodies, old and young, ailing and athletic.

By taking a historical approach, we can examine how notions of masculine and feminine, queer and straight identities change and differ across time and place in order to understand that contemporary identities or categories are themselves constructed and not fixed. By focusing on representations of the body, we will be able to examine the gendered nature of representation itself and thereby gaining greater insight into the powerful role of images in shaping our understanding of gender and sexuality.
