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. We’ll explore various forms of art, including historical and creative photography, painting, sculpture, installation and performance. Discussions in the course will emphasize ways in which art produced by Asian American creative communities made lasting and profound contributions to American visual culture.
