Part time faculty in the department of Art History, Theory, and Criticism teaching AH 360: History of Africana Art, a junior level elective.
Course description:
AH 360: History of Africana Art surveys the work of African artists from diverse situations, locations and generations. Overall, the course expands beyond the History of African American art by offering an introduction to major issues in art, art history and visual culture by engaging the aesthetic, social, cultural and geopolitical complexities of African heritage. Topics include the emergence of the modern world, dynamics of colonization and slavery, and, later, artworks by Americans of African heritage between c. 1400 and 1950 CE. Artworks are considered as actively making individuals, communities and societies. Then the course continues the conversation through focus on contemporary Africana art since 1950 to the present. Specific reference is made to American artists of the past 60 years, and the course draws on a wide range of examples to see various issues and ideas in Africana visual history, including the categories and names, including the difference between traditional and contemporary art.
