ARH 370 - ART TODAY:THE NEXT DECADE

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Art History

Description:

The avant-garde is a French term referring to those artists who are, at any time, thought to be the most advanced or at the cutting edge. This course will provide an investigation of the work, theories, attitudes and processes of avant-garde artists working today. It will consider the possible future direction of art through presentations of and dialogue with artists, critics, curators, etc. Through slide presentations, students will see a chronicle of selected artists who have made significant contributions to the contemporary art world. This pool of artists will change with the evolving art scene. Students will also study contemporary art by visiting galleries, museums and, in some cases, artists' studios, and by reading articles in major art periodicals. The students will attend presentations and meet with artists through the New Arts Program and the Visiting Artist Series. They will experience art firsthand by visits to galleries and artists' studios in New York City and/or Baltimore, Philadelphia, Allentown, Reading and Washington, D.C. The proximity of Kutztown to these centers of contemporary art offers opportunities to our students that are unique and unavailable to most university communities.
