In this global survey of contemporary art, students study recent works by artists from different geographical and cultural regions of the world. Emphasis is placed on artworks that reflect changes to world cultures resulting from colonization, war, and globalization and that capture the interconnections among world cultures and individuals from a humanistic perspective. Using a comparative and transnational framework, students identify commonalities and differences in the way diverse cultures and individuals are affected by and respond to global change.
