AHT 301 - Modern Art


This course surveys the major developments in the visual arts from the 1870s through the 1960s, with an emphasis on the early 20th century. Students will explore the origins and development of modernism and the foundations for contemporary artistic practice. We will place works of art and artists careers within historical contexts, analyzing how artists sought to create works relevant to a rapidly changing society. Critical issues will be examined in class through assigned readings, presentations, discussion, art-historical research and writing, and field trips to area museums. Prerequisite: AHT210 (3 Credits )
