ART 80QQueer Art

5 creditsGE ERUndergraduateStudent Option

Explores the state’s vital queer art communities as a cultural phenomena, primarily through one-on-one interviews with contemporary queer artists in California. In the face of rising homophobia and transphobia in many parts of the country, this course centers and makes visible the work of BIPOC LGBTQIE+ artists, including those with disabilities, and many others. Develops literacy and comprehension of queer artists and their artworks, utilizes critical thinking while encouraging engagement in and understanding of the art itself. Through a combination of lectures, visual presentations, films, readings, short quizzes and discussion boards, students gain the skills and knowledge to become conversant in queer art.
