X433.1 (2 semester units in Art)
An elective in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Visual Arts
Examine the nature of artistic creativity through the concept of play. Incorporate new techniques in the art-making process. Examine selected art movements from the 20th century (Dada, Surrealism, Fluxus) for their use of humor, play, chance, automatism, simultaneity and the absurd. Determine the powerful techniques that subvert rational analysis and behavior, and question the underlying cultural, political and social assumptions based on such thinking.
