Description

Explores the foundations of modernism, its development through the twentieth century, and its manifestation in the present day. Twentieth-century developments in painting will be investigated in detail.

Students will study the many and various art movements of the twentieth century, anaylzing the artistic, political, and social elements inherent within them. Upon completion of this course, the successful student will have acquired a strong critical vocabulary necessary for interpreting and evaluating modern art. Repeatable for credit.
