ART 521: Topics: Dimensions in Art

There are three topic areas: Art & Ethnicity, Art & Society, and Art, Past & Present. The courses will be rotated so that each is taught once every three years. Topics of seminars and the focus of studio strategies are based on current concerns in the visual art profession such as multiculturalism and reaching diverse audiences and student populations. Focus is placed on developing an understanding of the types of cultural and personal forces that form visual art and in turn shape diverse cultures of past and present societies.
