HUM 395-01 - Advanced Special Topic: Captured Creatures: Investigating Images of Animals in the Collection

4 credits (Fall)

The oldest human images are of animals. Our current image saturated world continues to be filled with animal masks, symbols, avatars, salesman, decorations, companions, storytellers, and representations. The course will explore images of animals in the art collection and elsewhere on campus, interrogating them as artistic, cultural, anthropological, scientific, and narrative objects. From our investigations, the class will curate and exhibition for Faulconer Gallery in Spring 2013.

Prerequisite: Third-year standing.
