| Students can expect to become familiar with accounts of modern art as a series of movements including realism, impressionism, cubism, surrealism, abstract expressionism, conceptualism and minimalism, as well as accounts which stress other factors and modes of analysis. Work using photography, film and video will be introduced alongside more traditional genres and media of art. Critical arguments about the value and purpose of art, in particular accounts of modernism and postmodernism will be outlined. These will be tested by and through the critical investigation of recent art, its meanings and effects. Students will be encouraged to ask critical questions about the relations between art, traditions, institutions and knowledge and to propose work that interests them for analysis. Work by Turkish artists will be introduced where appropriate. There will be three camera assignments set in relation to the arguments and ideas of the course. |
