ARTH 276 - Chicano Art and Muralism: From the Street to the (Staniar) Gallery

FDR: HA
Credits: 4
Planned Offering: Spring 2013 and every third year

Open to all students. This class examines the process by which Chicano/a artists have garnered public attention and respect, and have taken their artworks from the peripheries of the art world to more traditional museum and gallery spaces. Using the Great Wall of Los Angeles as a connecting thread, this class considers the broad theme of identity creation and transformation as expressed by Chicano/a artists from the 1970s to the present.
