Junior Colloquium: Images of America AMST202 FA

Next Offered in 9899 FA

We shall examine some attempts to make generalizations about America-- art, film, photographs. Our aim will be to try to understand not just the image, but some of the problems that occur when we try to abstract so complex a thing as an image or so complex an idea as America has proved to be. Seminar: group and individual projects in particular areas (film, magazines, advertisements). The aim: to discuss and make generalizations based on differing materials and research.
