Studio work is complemented by the study of diverse historical and contemporary painters rooted in observation, readings, critiques, and group discussions. Through these experiences, students will acquire a basic vocabulary specific to painting, and be able to use this language in discussions relevant to their work.

ART 104. FREEDOM, SLAVERY, AND EMANCIPATION. (3 Credits)
Political and cultural revolutions from the eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries ignited debates about basic human rights and equality. How were these rights defined, validated, and resisted? This course explores the role of visual material in developing discourses of freedom in the Atlantic World of this period. It also reveals how those seeking to expand freedom often used visual symbols of enslavement to make their case. Topics include: representations of political revolutions in the United States, France, and Haiti; the visual rhetoric of slavery and emancipation in the U.S., the Caribbean, and Brazil; and the visual promotion of female suffrage in England and the United States. The class will encompass a range of media, including popular prints and cartoons, paintings, photography, and sculpture. Our emphasis in this discussion-based course will be in making connections across geographic regions and types of freedom rather than seeing them in isolation. We also will reflect critically on connections between historical and present-day struggles for economic, gender, and racial equality.

Focusing on the concept of landscape, this course uses an interdisciplinary approach to examine how residents of the United States have described, pictured, and altered their physical environment between the colonial period and the present. In examining historical and theoretical analyses of landscapes, we will discover that the words and images that we use when contemplating our surroundings infulence the way that we relate to the world and the decisions that we make about it. The course considers a variety of visual material (maps, photographs, paintings, films, etc.). It is organized thematically, investigating several familiar categories of landscape including wilderness, public parks, and the private lawn, as well as patterns in the composition and symbolism of landscape imagery. The course includes field trips to area landscapes.

ART 119. MATERIAL WORLD OF ART. (3 Credits)
What would cause someone to physically attack an artwork? What does science tell us about the unanticipated changes in artworks over time? How difficult is it to move an artwork from one location to another? In our digital age, we have become distracted from the material dimensions of making, transporting, encountering, and conserving artworks. This course re-grounds visual art in the physical world, taking seriously the properties and interactions of art materials and the impacts of first-hand encounters with it. It also reveals specific aspects of art's social significance that are not captured effectively in photography, such as the ways in which art's materiality connects to spiritual, political, or technological practices. Looking at these issues in earlier periods of time sheds light on our own ideas about material, labor, time, and space.

ART 177. ART AND PERCEPTION. (3 Credits)
The Oxford dictionary defines perception as ""a way of regarding, understanding or interpreting something: a mental impression."" This class explores the importance of perception as applied to the visual arts. For instance, questions addressed might include: what separates Chinese aesthetic from Nigerian aesthetic from Renaissance aesthetic? How does a modern-day viewer's perception include all of these divergent forms of art--and more? How are found objects perceived to be considered art? How does a 2-D surface convey a 3-D illusion? The course will be reading-intensive and will involve the curation of an exhibition or an alternate engagement with art objects to convey manners of perception. The class is discussion based; students will be required to do reading each week and respond to the text in writing with images of art. Additionally, notes will be required on each reading to have more in-depth discussions. The note-taking will be mandatory. The reading list will change each year, depending on the idea of perception being pursued, but the core list will include: Walter Benjamin, Lewis Carroll, Franz Kafka, Le Zehou, Barbara Stafford, and Tang Hou.

ART 199. ART AND THEORY. (3 Credits)
Visual art is a way of communicating; it participates in a dialogue about a wide spectrum of social, political and cultural concerns. Cultural theorists directly analyze art, while ideas from social critics, such as Karl Marx, impact art indirectly but powerfully. In turn, artwork responds to criticism and expands it. By reading canonical texts written by art and cultural theorists, students will examine the changing relationships between art and society. They will also extend their explorations of the cultural relationships by applying each theory to specific art works, seeking those that best embody the theories explored.
