ARTH 6340 - Graduate African Art

3 credits

Through geographically and thematically oriented Power Point based lectures, online video and DVD, class discussions, independent research, local event attendance and displays at NEHMA and the Anthropology Museum, the students will become familiar with a broad range of arts, primarily of West and Central Africa, as well as North, East and Southern Africa. While we will look at a few instances of contemporary art, the course will concentrate primarily on how the arts were and are used in the daily life of the traditional small scale societies of these particular areas of Africa. The last set of lectures will be devoted to contemporary African and African-American Art.
