    Parallel Worlds examines art practices across the hemispheres from 1300 to 1950. The course will unpack the influence and stylistic variances within European (and later international) art during this period. Class sessions will be divided into two parts. One half of the class will be devoted to observing the art of Europe and its stylistic progressions starting with Giotto in Italy to survey art from the Renaissance, to Mannerism, to the Baroque, etc. The second half of the session will explore the colonial counterpart of these movements as seen in the artistic traditions of the Americas (San Miguel de Huejotzingo, the quilts of Gee’s Bend, Frida Kahlo, etc.). We will see how these styles mixed with the indigenous population and the African peoples, as seen in Mexico, Peru, and the United States. By the end of the course, we will examine how the Americas now export their artistic traditions eastward and across the globe. The course will utilize visual samples, theoretical writings, class discussion, and museum trips in order to enrich understanding of the art of these periods with visual sensation.

  • ART-3220.LA: Feminist Art: a Revolution in Creative Practice

    From the 1960s on, the feminist art movement has inspired pioneering new directions in visual art, as evidenced by recent significant survey exhibitions such as the WACK! show at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2007. What is feminist art and how can we learn from its accomplishments and innovations? Who were some of its most interesting and provocative practitioners? How can we incorporate feminist concerns into our art work, in ways that are personally and politically relevant?and aesthetically and conceptually exciting? These are some of the questions we?ll explore as we study a diversity of feminist artists and projects. Students will execute their own art projects in response to some of the core themes and strategies of feminist art, while being encouraged to update their approaches based on current issues and life experiences. We will begin by viewing some pre-cursors of feminist art, then study the critical accomplishments of artists of the 1960s and 70s, and finally move on to discuss contemporary artists. Students need no prior experience in art, and may create class projects based on their particular skill level, including painting, installation, craft-based forms, photography, video, text, performance, and internet-based projects. This class welcomes all genders, and students may address the projects themes as pertains to their experiences and interests.

  • ART-3290: Ideals of Beauty and Creative Practice

    This course examines the concept of beauty by studying the biases implicit in a variety of cultures’ definitions of the term. It is designed for students working in the visual arts, creative writing, songwriting, and dance. Following Crispin Sartwell’s book Six Names for Beauty students will create a matrix that compares different cultures’ understanding of what is beautiful and then create their own definition of beauty. Students will further explore cultural differences by creating work utilizing the values of the cultures we study. In Japan beauty is seen in the imperfections found in nature, in classical Greece beauty was rooted in a rigorous demand for perfection. How you define what is beautiful, defines who you are as an artist/creator.

  • ART-3300: A Joyful Noise: Music, Photography, Dissonance

    A Joyful Noise is an experiential art history and studio course that engages students of all sensibilities and skills in hands-on postmodern thought, music appreciation and art making practices. A Joyful Noise is about the relationship between photography and music, catalyzed by their dependence on recording, copies, and mechanical reproduction. The class will engage a wide range of musical and photographic movements from across the 20th Century to the present with special attention paid to noise, sound and dissonance. We will see and hear how the two mediums have influenced each other from concrete Futurist music, to the silence of John Cage, the roar of No Wave and the primal collage of the present, including the ways in which the photographic image has played an important role in contextualizing music through album covers, documentary work, and videos. Finally, we will examine the physicality of recorded music and light by comparing the photographic negative to the grooves of vinyl records or magnetic recording tape. Artists, musicians and movements that will be discussed will include: the Futurists, Erik Satie, John Cage, Yoko Ono, No Wave, Sun Ra, Alice & John Coltrane, Julius Eastman, Brian Eno, and Black Dice, amongst many more. Readings include texts by: Theodor Adorno, Amiri Baraka, and Jacques Attali amongst others. Learning formats include lecture, discussion, art making and art critique.

  • ART-3370: Self As Subject

    Students begin by identifying their many selves, how who they are is shaped by issues such as cultural identity, gender, and class. Using art students map the complex intersection of these selves. The art is designed to celebrate these identities and use irony and humor to turn around images/ideas, which are prejudicial. Turnarounds can be a powerful form of social criticism. Participants will also draw upon memories/their personal stories to make art. Students will be exposed to the work of artists such as Betye Saar, Linda Nishio and Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Group discussion about the ideas and dialog related to the work that is produced are important parts of the course. We will work from art critic, Lucy Lippard’s book Mixed Blessings to generate dialog and so that students can become familiar with artists who are working with identity.

  • ART-3390: Art, Recycling, and Consumption

    In this course students collect the by-products of their day-to-day consumption and then make art work with those materials, beginning with mapping their own usage; collecting materials and measuring waste. Students examine issues of toxicity and the ethical questions of utilizing more traditional media in the face of our current ecological crisis. Students make use of the data and/or the actual materials collected in the making of their art work. As this is a studio class, students work during class making constructions in the form of mapping, assemblage, collage and sculpture. This course takes students beyond the early foundational skills of art making into the more conceptual challenges of art making. It is by examining why artists use the materials they use, the impact of those choices that students can come to a conceptual premise for their work. Students learn to integrate form and subject.

    Developing our capacity to actively listen is critical to the art of social practice and helps us understand the politics of our various social positions. In this one-day workshop, we will actively consider some of the various ways artists and other social practitioners can use listening as strategies for effective community engagement. We will experiment with story telling, drawing, theater, and site-specific exercises on Antioch’s campus to challenge our inherited dominant systems of speaking, telling and informing. Through this experiential learning process, we will create applied strategies for our own practices, and collectively form a project proposal.

  • ART-3900AE: Appropriation & Subversion: the 1980S Art of Barbara Kruger, Sherrie Levine, & Adrian Piper

    Taking their cues from the conceptual and feminist art of the 1960s and 70s, postmodern artists Barbara Kruger and Sherrie Levine and pioneering conceptual artist Adrian Piper used radical strategies to undermine conventions of beauty and originality in visual art. Emulating the aesthetic of propaganda posters, Kruger’s work combined images borrowed from magazine advertisements with provocative statements to confront sexism and the ideologies of consumer culture. Sherry Levine reproduced works by masters of modernist photography and sculpture to challenge ideas about originality and genius in the art marketplace. Artist and philosopher Adrian Piper used her own mixed-race heritage as a springboard to confront racist assumptions and racial stereotypes in everyday social interactions. We will explore the careers of these three artists, as well as their influence upon a subsequent generation of contemporary artists. The workshop includes a visit to LACMA to view the exhibition Ends and Exits: Contemporary Art from the Collections of LACMA and The Broad Art Foundation.

The arts in LA have long stood in the shadow of other cultural industries and thus have been able to flourish without intense scrutiny like art in New York. Because of this open space, Los Angeles has positioned itself at an important crossroads of openness and experimentalism that has pushed it to the front of the American art scene. This workshop will focus on the work made in Los Angeles since John Cage and will examine his influence upon artist’s practices since. Cage’s music incorporated elements from the visual arts and can be seen as some of the first inter-media work that aimed to blur the line between art and life. We will examine the work of L.A. artists like Chris Burden, Paul McCarthy and Catherine Opie amongst others in order to better understand the artistic production of this major art center from the 30s to the present. The instructor will act as tour guide, highlighting important places, people, and movements that have left an indelible mark on this city and the world. No grade equivalents allowed.

  • ART-3901: Special Topics in Drawing

    It is said that “drawing is the fundament of art.” Drawing is an intense, sensitive, compelling, personal, and utterly direct art form, one with its own concepts, characteristics, and techniques. Drawing is not governed by any particular imagery, but rather encompasses a variety of approaches, including realist, abstract, modernist, and post-modernist. Contemporary drawing explores surface, mark, space, composition, scale, materials, and intentionality in turn. Key techniques such as using nature to induce marks, observation and design, value, line, rhythm, balance, perspective, anatomy, and formal structure are all explored.

  • BUS-3080: Story & Strategy in Non-Profit Organizations

    The non-profit sector is always seeking to develop leadership, enhance effectiveness, and improve results. Often neglected in these efforts is a re-examination of what inspired many of us to get involved in this work in the first place: a story that made an issue meaningful or an experience that ignited passion. Progressive change work, often plagued by limited capacity and resources, tends to lead with facts and truth with little regard for producing a meaningful story. But story is one of the most powerful tools we can employ in service of our cause. It has the ability to seamlessly communicate mission and impact, inspire around vision, build leadership, mobilize resources, action, and support and ensure sustainability within an organization. Today we see an emergent and inter-disciplinary approach to organization development drawing from the fields of communication, media and messaging along with strategic planning, adaptive leadership, storytelling, culture and creativity to meet shifting demands in this arena. Building our capacity for story-based strategy is rapidly becoming one of the essential tools for leading the future of non-profits and social sector. This course will explore the foundations of narrative work and its application to advance the mission of nonprofit organizations. With the rise of social media and the proliferation of communications, advertising and design in our current age, the work of myth and meaning-making becomes critical to our ability to bring about change at the scale we are seeking. Stories are constructed realities that serve to guide and support us in creating collective impact and realizing new futures. The nonprofit sector, community organizing campaigns and social movements are all investing more emphasis on storytelling and narrative strategy, as well as the use of design thinking and aesthetics to communicate their missions and mobilize resources and support for the work. Drawing from the work of grassroots intermediaries and nonprofit organizational development theory and practice, this course is designed to introduce students to the basic tools for developing story and strategy within nonprofit organizations and the larger sector. Students will be given opportunities to work collaboratively to frame and reframe issues and initiatives and apply tools and course concepts to real life examples of campaigns, organizations, social issues and global movements.

  • BUS-3240: Social Change and the Nonprofit Sector

    Those possessed with a passion to make the world a better place will often envision starting a movement, or strengthening or reviving one that already exists. The instrumentality of social change, however, is normally neither an individual actor nor some loose association of like-minded individuals. In the course of US history, it has often been and continues to be the collective agency of a nonprofit organization. A survey of the history of civil society in the United States shows that nonprofits have formed coalitions to spawn movements of social change and, conversely, that significant cultural and economic institutions have been born of such movements. From the Abolitionist Movement that spawned abolitionist societies in the nineteenth century to the LGBT organizations that produced recent changes in marriage laws, the synergy between social change movements and nonprofit organizations has been a constant of American history. This course examines both historical dynamics in the interest of equipping present and future builders of movements and institutions with the knowledge of the forces that can support, grow, degrade, or destroy their efforts.

During this class we will examine the following elements as key course themes that connect reading assignments, activities, discussions, projects, and presentations: ?tInnovation: Social entrepreneurs are innovators who create social change. What are the conditions that allow for innovation? ?tTeam Dynamics: Engaging complex social problems is rarely an individual endeavor and often requires we work with partners and teams to achieve a goal. What are processes and skills that can harness the highest potential of groups and foster effective team dynamics? ?tNew Emergent Forms: New forms of technology, communication, economy, and business are rapidly transforming our social sphere. How are social entrepreneurs keeping pace with the speed of change and, in some cases, shaping cutting edge advances to our social initiatives and business practices? ?tImpact, Evaluation, and Sustainability: How do we know we are succeeding in such new terrain? What are methods for observation, evaluation, and measuring impact and effectiveness of social organizations? How do we continue to sustain our efforts over time?
