AAS 291SEM - The African American Artist


Who are the modern African American artists? How have they come to revolutionize Western arts canons? Where do the roots of their creativity come from? How has slavery influenced and guided their work? Complex, powerful, and intelligent, the African American artist has embraced western arts traditions, while preserving their own, unique, journey into self-identity and realization. In this course, we will explore these issues, including the role gender and LGBT artists have contributed. Extensive use of Powerpoints, videos, films, and readings will help illustrate the topics discussed in class.
