explore urban cultures, legends, scenes, and structures to discern how the spaces and rhythms of city life are

respond with theoretical, creative and community-based research projects that foster conversation and
involvement with citizens.

This course offers an overview of the major movements and aesthetic concerns in art from the 1960s to the
present. The course charts the shifting boundaries of contemporary art including the impact of street art,
new media, craft and design on art practices in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Topics focus on the
relationship between contemporary art production and the social, economic and cultural shifts that inform

assess which themes and movements align with their own interests. Research and writing strategies focus on
the development of informed critical language around contemporary art practices.
