ARH 3410 ISSUES IN AFRICAN ART
This course introduces the arts of Africa. A variety of media—sculpture, painting, architecture, performance and personal decoration—will be examined, and we will consider both traditional and contemporary definitions of African art and cultures. We will pay special attention to art as it exists within or defines social contexts, initiation, religious ceremony, political and royal institutions, domestic arenas, cross-cultural exchanges, and colonialism. No prerequisite.
