ARTH 001J. First Year Seminar: Arts of Everyday Life

Centered on the study of five artworks, this first year seminar introduces students to the interconnectedness of art and everyday life. The course traces the parallel histories of feminism and art in US modernity. Students of this seminar will study the work of women who relied on art to make sense of their everyday experience and fight for a more inclusive art world. At the end of this writing course students will have produced forms of art writing such as the art review, the personal essay, the wall caption, and the research paper.
