ART 257 Details

3 Credit Hours

Course Description:

This course is an examination of the ways in which paintings, prints, and photographs of the American West can be used to understand broader cultural ideas about the land and its peoples. It has been designed to introduce students to the history of Western American art from the early nineteenth century to the present day, with special emphasis on theoretical approaches that suggest the ways in which visual imagery can be used as a primary source document to illuminate issues of broader historical concern. No pre-requisites but prior college work in American history or general art history is very helpful.
