Modern/Contemporary Art History Courses


Modern art comprises a number of art movements from the 1860’s to the 1970’s.  Many artists during this time period produced works of art that rearticulated or rejected the traditional historical styles preceding it to embrace experimentation practically or technically.

Contemporary art is art that has produced during the latter part of the twentieth century, after 1970 though the twenty-first century.  Much of the work embraces culturally global ideas, materials, methods, or conceptual underpinnings.

Because course offerings that explore issues related to diversity, equity, social justice, and inclusion vary by semester, B.F.A. students can petition to have a class added to the approved list of electives. Students are encouraged to review the Class Roster, including the Society for the Humanities roster, which may include new D&I related offerings. Please include a syllabus with your petition, and if approved, the course will be added to the list of approved electives. Please get prior approval before you take the course.
