Understanding Social Change Through Art: Art reflects and shapes social, cultural, and political change. Art shapes the human experience. In this course, you'll explore various artistic movements and their relationship to social change in the United States and beyond, discovering how creative expressions respond to significant historical moments and impact society. Dive into the disquiet of the Lost Generation, the vibrant energy of the Harlem Renaissance, the bold aesthetics of countercultural movements like the hippies and punks, the innovative spirit of Bauhaus design, the evolution of film, and the powerful role of performance art in activism. Experience art as both a mirror and a catalyst for social transformation!
