ABD 246 - Principles of African Art

Description
This introductory-level course surveys the arts of select cultures from west and central Africa. The course will focus on the arts of royalty as a means by which to introduce basic concepts and larger issues within the field. The arts of groups who borrow from royal iconography, such as diviners, religious cults, societies of elders, and others, will also be investigated. Themes pertinent throughout the course include issues of gender, colonialism, cultural interaction, and historical change in both visual art and the nature of kingship. Cross-listed as HAA 101. Requirement Designation: Arts and Literature.

The class is pretty boring. The midterm wasn't too hard if you studied. He isn't very clear on what he wants. It takes him about 10 minutes until everyone understands. When I needed help he kind of seemed bothered but still gave me some helpful hints. You have to be very interested in African Art to really appreciate this course.
