About the course...
This is a survey of the arts from the early 19th century to the presenttime that examines profound transformations within modern culture: mechanized industry and transportation, mass urbanization, individual expression, political pluralism, cultural extremism, the avant-garde; and their impact upon the traditional arts of painting, sculpture and the new mechanical arts of photography, film, and video. This course will also look at the development of architecture in recent centuries, specifically focusing on the rise of new building technologies, the architectural avant-garde, and the importance of nature in architectural theory and practice. Intended for second semester freshman students.
