FDR: HA Fine Arts Distribution
Credits: 4

This course fulfills the Arts and Humanities requirement for the LACS minor. Open to all students. This class examines the process by which Chicana/o artists have garnered public attention and respect, taking their artworks from the peripheries of the art world to museum and gallery spaces. Using the half-mile long mural entitled The Great Wall of Los Angeles as a connecting thread, this class considers the broad theme of identity creation and transformation as expressed by Chicana/o artists from the 1970s to the present.
