Course Description

This course examines visual culture -- painting, sculpture, architecture, installation, site-specific, performance and digital art -- in the West from the Impressionists to the present day, emphasizing the evolution of changing attitudes toward form and content. Visual culture is analyzed through the lens of modern and postmodern critical theory. This course uses the pedagogical methods common to all Honors courses: interdisciplinary, writing-intensive, collaborative, and experiential instruction. This course used to be ARTS 001DH.
