AAH 270 - Asian American Art

Course Units:

This course explores Asian American art in the United States from the mid-19th century to the present. The term, “Asian American,” will be seen as expansive and shifting as we learn about the histories, experiences and creative production of people of Asian heritage living and producing art in the United States. Throughout the course, we will examine what it meant to be an Asian American artist across differing moments of US history. The course will also emphasize the ways in which art produced by these creative communities made lasting and profound contributions to American visual culture. CC: HUM, JCAD, JCHF ISP: AMS
