Course Syllabus
Abstract
This course studies the origins and development of Latin American art, from pre-Columbian times to the present day. It covers an array of media, primarily architecture, sculpture, weaving, ceramics, and painting. Our emphasis will be on the ways Latin American artists have created a unique portrayal of reality, which is informed by its peculiar mixture of aesthetic influences (both European and indigenous), as well as by its historical, political, and religious autonomous life. Guiding concepts throughout the course will include the imaginaire, history, polemics, modernity, the Renaissance, colonial, post-coloniality, representation, aesthetics, identity, and beauty. Upon completion of this course, students will have a general knowledge of the art culture of Latin America. Additionally, students will develop an insight as to how this tradition reflects the evolution of Latin American society.
