    Description
    This course is an introduction to the art and visual culture of Latin America from the time of European contact to the present. In addition to major artists and movements, the course considers topics such as indigenous arts in a colonial context, European models, decolonization, and the intersection of art and national identity. The course includes links with Chicano/a art and culture in the U.S. Works of art and architecture are explored within their social and cultural contexts. Duplicate credit will not be awarded for both the honors and regular versions of a course. Credit will be awarded only for the first course completed with a grade of “C” or better or “P.”.
