UACC 249 Collaborative Studio: Masterpieces in Miniature: Small Art that Changed the World



1.5 - 3 credits undefined hours
200 level undergraduate course

Often the idea of ‘great’ art in any discipline is connected with ‘large’ art. The ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The two-part six-hour play Angels in America. The monumental novels of Russian authors like Dostoyevsky. Masterpieces in Miniature: Small Art that Changed the World challenges that supposition by exposing students to art that is small in size but large in impact. The students will have the opportunity to respond critically to these pieces, reflect on how cultural and social mores influence both the creator and the receivers, and create collaborative pieces that incorporate multiple disciplines.

Collaborative Studio engages students in cross-disciplinary and collaborative processes, building links and connections across the disciplines through diverse cultural experiences, critical writing and discussion.

This course is not repeatable for credit.
