Undergraduate Projects in Studio Art: Representation and Identity

• Course Number: ART-UE 1914
• Hours: 45
• Units: 3
• Description: This course explores the interrelationship between representation & identity through the diverse disciplines of Psychoanalysis, Art History, Semiotics, Women?s Studies, & Post-Colonial Studies. We will trace the way these processes are channeled through a language of signs & symbols. The crucial role of visual images within each of these processes will be explored through examples taken from the readings as well as from slide lectures & films by contemporary artists. Designed to provide a set of analytical tools that can be used to interrogate & expand the artistic process, the use of artwork, writing, assignments, & group discussion will provide regular opportunities for students to respond & reflect on the topics introduced.
