Course Description:


This multicultural art course investigates the artistic expressions of diverse ethnic and cultural groups in America.

Assignments, including interactive online discussion, reading, writing, and hands-on projects, will enrich students' knowledge of artistic traditions and practices of diverse ethnic and cultural groups as well as foster students' ability to respond to the issues of multicultural art critically and sensitively.
