FINE 4990/5990: Contemporary Art (T/Th: 11AM-12:15PM) | This course will survey dominant movements and trends in visual art from roughly 1960 to the present. Since the course deals as much with history as with art, we will be exploring the different historical events, creative and technological developments, and theory/methodologies that inform the creation and analysis of the work presented in the class.
