Critical Theory for Visual Art

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

This course is designed to familiarize upper-level students with key texts in philosophy, critical theory, and more recent modes of political address commonly seen in art and writing about art. On one hand, understanding such concepts is vital for success in the contemporary art world; on the other, they (and the analytic skills developed in the course) are widely applicable when making sense the current cultural landscape in the US and beyond.
