    300 level undergraduate course

This course outlines the major movements and enduring themes in the history of African American art from the late-eighteenth century to the present day. We will pay special attention to the socio-political context within which Black artists have worked and will highlight connections both to African traditions and to the mainstream of American art. Special topics will include craft and the training of Black artists both inside and outside of the academy, the Harlem Renaissance, the Black Arts Movement, “Post-Black” art, and Afro-diasporic art in the twenty-first century.

  • AHST 311 Dirty Pictures: A History of Art Censorship



    3 credits 45.0 hours
    300 level undergraduate course

    There has been some form of art censorship, virtually everywhere in the world, as long as there has been art. For centuries visual artworks deemed offensive have been altered or destroyed, their audiences restricted and their creators fined, imprisoned, harassed, and/or physically harmed. The purpose of this course is to examine important cases of art censorship, to try and understand why this phenomenon has been so widespread and long-lasting and to consider its implications within, and beyond, the art community today and for the future. After briefly surveying the history of art censorship in the Western world from antiquity through the mid-20th century, this course will focus on five recent case studies - particularly notorious instances of art censorship that occurred in the U.S. between 1982 and 2004. We will examine the basic facts of each case, then review and discuss the principal responses it has generated and its subsequent implications, from several points of view. Some of the complex questions to be explored will include: Exactly what constitutes ‘censorship’? Under what circumstances might censorship be justified? Should different criteria be applied to potentially controversial public art, vs. the art displayed in art galleries and museums?

  • AHST 312 Women Artists



    3 credits 45.0 hours
    300 level undergraduate course

The groundbreaking work of feminist art historians will show students how gendered assessments of art have caused the neglect of women artists. We may touch on some familiar favorites, like Artemisia Gentileschi or Berthe Morisot, to learn about the obstacles women artists faced. In addition, we will come to understand why, despite significant accomplishments in their respective lifetimes, historical accounts of them pale in comparison to their male counterparts. The course will also engage in invigorating discussions about some of the leading artists of our time, such as Judy Chicago, Shirin Neshat, or Amy Sherald.

  • AHST 408 18th & 19th Century Art



    3 credits 45.0 hours
    400 level undergraduate course

    In the eighteenth century, the Enlightenment sparked revolutions on both sides of the Atlantic. Artistic patronage thus shifted and the role of the artist changed drastically. Throughout the nineteenth century, industrialization dominated urban centers, once fledgling republics established nations, the slave trade became illegal, and women’s suffrage movements began to organize. In this course, students will consider how artists responded to these rapid socio-political changes and revolutionized art by engaging with their contemporary circumstances. We will explore the work of familiar favorites as well as relatively unknown artists working in various media-painting, sculpture, photography, and illustration-to investigate how they subverted pictorial conventions to offer a modern visual language.
