American Culture through Art (ACART 140)
This is an upper division elective course that uses art as a medium to explore various aspects of American culture.
Every culture has its specific art forms. You can see them in art galleries and museums, as well as in the public
art around town. Seattle is famous for its art scene. Learn about American culture through its art. We will use
the Henry Art Gallery on campus as well as optional art walks around town. You will learn how to look at art and
how to talk about it. Speaking and vocabulary will be practiced in small group discussions and through in-class
presentations. (Offered autumn & spring quarters.)
