Intermediate Studio Projects: From Derain to Basquiat and Polke



Intermediate Studio Projects: From Derain to Basquiat and Polke is a Humanities, Arts and Cultural Studies class taught by Daniel Schrade.

Course Description
Students will focus on contemporary issues in painting, using the works of Andre Derain (1880 -1954), Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960 - 1988) and Sigmar Polke (1941 - ) as a brace to define the time period in which this course will be settled. The goal of this course is to explore more advanced problems in studio arts, with emphasis on guiding students to develop ideas and critically investigate methods for personal expression. Project orientated assignments are designed to create a body of work on an intermediate level. Readings and one paper on an artist to be assigned will be required. Field trips. Instructor permission required.
