3 Credits
3 hours per week.

Beginning with art created during the colonial period (including “slave art”), this course examines the major artistic developments that occurred in the United States from 1700-1950. Among the topics considered are art and nationalis, art and abolition, race and representation, and imperialism and modernism. Particular attention will be give to the influence of African, as well as European art on the evolution of art in America, with the intent of demonstrating the central role artists of color played in establishing the American artistic canon.
