Course Description

Community art involves all arts disciplines and can be found in all corners of the world: in immigrant working-class areas, in prisons, in rural communities, in (former) war zones, etc. In the Netherlands, for example, it is a rapidly expanding field that operates mostly, but not exclusively, outside of the mainstream or avant-garde. Because it challenges traditional notions of (autonomous) artmaking, community art reconfigures existing art theory and criticism in an attempt to validate itself both socially and culturally. This course provides a critical introduction to the practical and theoretical dimensions of community arts. As small, multilingual research teams, students conduct fieldwork in ongoing community arts projects in Utrecht or elsewhere in the Netherlands, film their results, and present this video to the class.

Course Description
This course covers artistic behavior, phenomenon, and work with the eye of society and at the same time analyzes society again through the appearance of society reflected in art. The long-standing interest of sociology is that art is no exception, as it reveals that the institutions of society are not created by themselves or independently, but autonomously. Through this lesson, students realize that art is transcendental and social, and that the aesthetic dimension is not exogenous but social. Arts are usually treated as transcendental, i.e. beyond our normal and everyday life, and artists are seen as geniuses totally different from ordinary people. Sociology of arts regards such beliefs as myth, and try to unveil the social foundation and construction of arts hidden by such myth. Assessment: Attendance and Discussion (15%), Report (30%), Presentation (25%), Essay (30%)

Course Description

This course explores the visual arts in Central Europe, with strong emphasis on German art in particular, from the rise of modernism circa 1900 to postmodernism and up to the present day. The course studies individual works, critiquing and analyzing their formal structure, style, technique, and iconography. Students consider the intentions of the artists who created the works, and place the works within their wider historical, political, economic, social, and cultural backgrounds. Additionally, the course brings awareness to the international development of visual arts in western Europe, including development in the United States during the second half of the 20th century. The course also introduces students to major philosophical ideas of the period and the methods which art historians have found appropriate in studying the objects and ideas which constitute their discipline. Berlin houses some of the most splendid art collections in the world, such as the Neue Nationalgalerie, the Hamburger Bahnhof (with the Friedrich Christian Flick Collection), the Kupferstichkabinett (Graphic Arts), the Brücke-Museum, and the Bauhaus-Archiv, not to mention the collections of ancient art. In addition, a vibrant scene of art galleries provides new perspectives on contemporary art that has not yet been established in the museums. An essential approach of the course is to work not only with slides and text sources in class but also with the originals during excursions to different museums.
