American Art: Forging a Nation in Images

From images of the Wild West to everyday cans of soup, and from presidential monuments to home-made quilts, American art evokes the nation’s history, culture and identity. This course introduces American art from the sixteenth to twenty-first century, and considers the often controversial roles it has played in forging a nation from diverse peoples. Starting with colonial times, we will look at arts of Native Americans as well as newcomers from Europe, Africa and elsewhere, including paintings, sculptures, architecture and crafts.
