UNDERSTAND (AND APPRECIATE) MODERN ART IN ONE HOUR

UNDERSTAND (AND APPRECIATE) MODERN ART IN ONE HOUR

I often hear students say, "I love art history, but I hate Modernism! Why is it so important? A child can do it. Only bougie hipsters pretend to like this stuff!" In response to these concerns, I have worked hard over the years to make Modern art more accessible, understandable and enjoyable for my students. This one-hour course, Understand (and Appreciate) Modern Art in One Hour, encapsulates these efforts. We will cover the major art movements in the Modern period, including, Arts + Crafts, Symbolism, Abstraction, Expressionism, Cubism, Minimalism, Abstract Expressionism, Color Field Painting, Non-Subjective art, and more. The course is organized into three short lectures and lasts about one hour. It includes a short but comprehensive open access eText on Modernism, as well as a study guide and terms sheet. I have been teaching art history at a major research university for over ten years, and I have created dozens of online courses for thousands of students. I promise that in one hour you will understand Modern art. You may not end up loving Modernism, but I guarantee you will have a greater appreciation for it. The next time your partner or mother-in-law wants to take you to a Modern art exhibit, you’ll be able to not only enjoy your visit, but wow your loved ones with your savvy knowledge of Modernism! I'm glad you're here.

If you hate Modern art, this is the course for you!
