    Description
    The study of prehistoric, historic and modern creative art forms of American Indians. This course investigates the origins of American Indian art from rock paintings to contemporary artists and artisans. The class compares and contrasts art forms said to be Native American in content and Native American artists creating contemporary art in European-based art forms. American Indian art is explored within the context of American Indian Studies--from legal, cultural, anthropological, and fine arts perspectives and as a means of adaptation and resistance to colonialization and government policies.
