HAD-350 Arts of the Other in a Changing World

3 Credits

This course deals with three concepts: Non-Western (regions of Africa, the Americas and Oceania), Art (human expression) and History (through time). These objects, acts and events will be viewed in terms of how they have developed over time and how they have been observed, described and collected by ourselves and other outsiders. This course addresses the ways in which art is produced, used and considered/ valued by the people whose lives it touches and molds, as well as theways that meaning has been treated by others.
