ART 100The Language of Art
Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: The course teaches students to begin to understand the processes of artistic creation. It enables the student to grasp the expressive content of works of art in a wide variety of media and to analyze how the artist creates his/her effect. It is not an historical survey. Through lectures, discussions, field trips, and museum visits, the student studies paintings, sculptures, and buildings; examples are chosen as often as possible from the Boston area. The course addresses such concepts as elements of composition, rhythm, symmetry, and space; and the possibilities of differing interpretations of subject matter. It offers a solid introduction to the arts by developing the student's ability to see and analyze forms as the result of aesthetic and interpretive decisions. (Course offered in CAPS.)

Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: In this course, students will examine the technical processes employed when using paints and pigments, marbles, metals, and wood, in conjunction with the meanings attached to those materials and processes. We will investigate how notions of natural philosophy, religion, matter, technical work and labor, the creative act, and the artistic mediums--painting and sculpture in particular--informed the self-fashioning of artists and their identity. This "material turn" has been important--and successful--for how it opens the field to multiple issues and areas of study likely to remain consequential for the foreseeable future, among which: gender and sexuality (materials, and matter itself, often have been gendered); distinctions or hierarchies of class and labor (as mechanical labor, the visual arts were held in low esteem historically); notions of local, national, or ethnic identities (mediums and materials, even on a mineralogical basis, took on connotations of place-hood). The primary goals of the course are to broaden students' understanding of artistic mediums and their development through history, and to deepen their own thinking about the intertwined mental and material processes of art-making. Course Note: The course would be offered on a regular basis. Distribution Area: Arts Course Catalog ID: 040738 364

ART 370LStudies in Experimental Film and Video Art
Credit(s): 3 Component(s): Lecture Grading Basis: Graded (includes P/F option) Repeatable for credit: Not repeatable Description: This course surveys the history of experimental forms of cinema. For as long as cinema has been in existence, filmmakers and artists of many different backgrounds have used the medium to test the limits of its expressive tools. Thus, beginning with early cinema and continuing to the present day, experimental film and video have thrived, developing their own set of concerns and aesthetic interests. These oppositional, radical, creative, and revolutionary films challenge not only the dominant commercial form of the cinema-- they also open up new horizons of expression for political, social, and aesthetic issues. By looking at the development of different forms of experiments over the course of cinema history, this course gives students a historical and theoretical background to hone their appreciation and understanding of the meanings produced by film and video art. 366
