ART 4266 - Unraveling the Figure



Credits: 3

Prerequisite(s): ART 1101, ART 1141, ART 1501, ART 1531, ARTH 1600, ARTH 1700, and ART 2641 OR ART 2643 OR ART 2661 OR ART 2666 with C- or better in all prerequisites; or permission of the department

Description: This course focuses on employing the body as a tool for exploration, moving beyond the descriptive to address the diverse roles of the figure in art, including issues of representation. The rich heritage of painting, drawing and sculpting the body, as well as current developments, provide a space for investigating the complexities of depicting the figure as narrator, where gesture, expression, identity, culture and location inform how images are perceived and received. Students make new artwork to explore and utilize the past figuration and to move beyond the traditional historic form. This is an integrated media course.

Note: This course is repeatable for a maximum of 6 semester hours.
