RART300Art in America

An in depth overview of American artistic production from the late 17th through the beginning of the 20th centuries with a focus on the cultural, social, and political meanings of the seminal American achievements in paintings, sculpture, photography, and some architecture. This course will probe how the history of ideas in America profoundly intersects with the history of American art. As we analyze the key artistic achievements of American visual culture we will examine the changing attitudes regarding the role of art in society and the impact on culture of such extraordinary events as the European colonization of the Native peoples, American Revolution, the expansion westward, slavery and separatism, the Civil War, technological revolutions in transportation and communication, the influx of immigrants, and changing economic factors.
