ARTS 1726 - Art in the Cities

3 Credits

This course takes an experiential approach to learning about the visual arts. Through visits to museums, galleries, studios, and historic sites, students will become familiar with some of the cultural resources available in Minneapolis and Saint Paul. We will study art representing various media, artistic philosophies, historical contexts, and cultures of the Twin Cities. Weekly readings, papers, and a final project emphasize the development of critical thinking, visual analysis, and writing skills. Students will be responsible for their own transportation. 3C/3/0/0
