AEGR611/Lecture/01 - Global Art Histories Leading to Contempo
|
Credits
3.00
How do global art histories shape contemporary practice, and how can these narratives enrich today’s art classrooms? This course offers a critical and inclusive study of artistic traditions beyond the Western canon, examining key contributions from Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Indigenous communities, and the Pacific. Spanning historical foundations through contemporary movements, students will trace how global forces such as colonization, migration, identity, and technology continue to shape the art of today. Students will engage with a range of media and perspectives—from classical sculpture and paintings to digital art while analyzing how colonization, trade, religion, and sociopolitical change have impacted artistic production across time. Readings, discussions, and field experiences with Philadelphia-area collections and artists will support students in developing critical, globally-informed approaches to teaching. This course equips art educators with the tools to create inclusive, culturally responsive curricula that reflect the rich diversity of art across time and place.
