ANTH 16
Anthropology of Art
Course Description
The debunking of myths regarding race, gender, and human aggression frame investigations of past and current issues that are made visible in painting, sculpture, and graphic design of African Americans, Asian Americans, Chicano/a, and Native American artists who wish their messages to reach both their ethnic communities and mainstream society. The class will focus on social contexts of the American Experience where power, class, ethnicity, colonialization, ethnocentrism, liberation, self-determination, resistance, and agency intersect in varying ways.
