HOA 300 M001	ST: Gender Sexuality, & Modernism	MW	5:15 PM-6:35 PM	Murphy, Peter	Online-SYNCHRONOUS		The evolution of modern art is synchronous with changing perceptions of gender, sexuality, and the body; our class will follow this history by considering how artists addressed and engaged with these topics in their work. We will survey this relationship as it develops globally, across different mediums, and within different artistic movements. In addition to the major figures of modernism, we will focus on women artists, queer/LGBT artists, and artists of color whose work has proven to be especially influential and crucial for the history of modern art.
HOM 300 M001	Religion and Popular Music		no meeting pattern	Justice, Deborah	Online-ASYNCHRONOUS		Register for one Lecture M002 (in-person) or M003 (online); Section M001 will auto enroll. Section M001 will be taught online asynchronously. Lecture M003 will be taught online synchronously. Religion and popular music have always been intertwined - from medieval European opposition to “the Devil's music”” to 1950s sanctified Elvis record burnings in the US to the flip-side of religious communities embracing modern styles to appeal to more people and communicate values. From hip-hop to heavy metal, gospel to electronica, and qawwali to country, just about every genre of popular music has dealt with themes of spirituality and belief. Across different genres and communities, the search for meaning and transcendence within both religion and popular music highlights issues central to the human experience. This course takes a multidisciplinary approach to help students develop a comprehensive understanding of these issues and the relationships between religion, culture and society.

HOA 400 M001	ST: Radical Media	M	2:15 PM-5:00 PM	Innes, Margaret	Online-SYNCHRONOUS		double numbered w/ HOA 600, M001 - American visual culture changed dramatically between the World Wars. Amid severe economic depression and the consolidation of the monopoly press, a new cast of artists and radicals set out to transform the social potential of art. Turning to accessible and often mass-distributed formats such as graphic illustration, photography, and film, these cultural workers aimed to redefine the boundaries between art and mass culture, forging new modes of aesthetic experience for a new public. This course explores the figures at the center of this paradigm shift, from the artists and activists of the Harlem Renaissance to the Mexican muralists to the labor radicals of the worker-photography movement. How did the embrace of popular forms shift the political stakes of artistic production? How did it change ideas of art? And how did it impact visual cultures of social dissent? In this class, we will place artists’ work in dialogue with historical and theoretical debates to understand interwar visual culture at the nexus of art and mass media.
HOA 400 M002	ST: Native Modernisms	MW	12:45 PM-2:05 PM	Scott, Sascha	In Person		double numbered w/ HOA 600, M002; crosslisted with NAT 400, M001 - Throughout the twentieth century, Native American artists created objects for the art market that simultaneously drew from their community’s traditions and engaged with dominant art trends. This course will study these objects and consider how Native artists engaged with, disrupted, and formed their own modernisms. The course will span from the late nineteenth-century to the present and will situate Native modernisms within aesthetic, political, and cultural contexts. We will consider how Native artists variously accommodated, transformed, and resisted colonial ways of seeing and knowing, and thus produced forms of modern art that speak to Indigenous peoples’ enduring creativity, strength, and resilience.
HOA 412 M001	From Gothic to Goth	TTH	5:00 PM-6:20 PM	Mateo, Matilde	Online-SYNCHRONOUS
HOM 419 M001	Music and Media	TTH	12:30 PM-1:50 PM	Musser, Jordan	Online-SYNCHRONOUS
HOA 440 M001	Women in Art	TTH	12:30 PM-1:50 PM	Cornelison, Sally	Online-SYNCHRONOUS		crosslisted with HOA 600, M003 - This course will explore Italian works of art and architecture made by women, for women, and images of women that date from circa 1300 to 1650. Drawing on a rich body of primary, secondary, and visual sources, the class will examine, among other things, issues concerning women in the context of domestic, conventual, and public spaces and rituals; the artistic patronage of wives, widows, and nuns; images of female saints; portraits of secular women; and women artists and their work.
HOA 479 M001	Early Modern Architecture	MW	12:45 PM-2:05 PM	Henderson, Susan	Online-SYNCHRONOUS		ARC course added 10/6 - crosslisted with ARC 431/731
HOA 500 M001	ST: Paper Arts in the Low Countries	TTH	2:00 PM-3:20 PM	Franits, Wayne	Hybrid		This interdisciplinary seminar will examine the production of drawings and prints, mainly in the Netherlands (Holland) and Flanders (modern-day Belgium) from circa 1500 to circa 1700; it therefore satisfies either the “Renaissance” or “Baroque and 18th Century” distribution requirement. The course will survey the works on paper of such important artists as Hieronymous Bosch, Lucas van Leyden, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Hendrick Goltzius, Rembrandt van Rijn, Peter Paul Rubens, and Anthony van Dyck. Pandemic permitting, we will also visit the Johnson Museum at Cornell University to view highlights of its outstanding paper art collection.
HOA 512 M001	Islamic Palaces of Spain, from Past to Present	W	2:15 PM-5:00 PM	Mateo, Matilde	Online-SYNCHRONOUS		The Alhambra is an unusual and complex monument that challenges historiographical categories such as "Islamic," "architecture," "authenticity," and "historic monument," among others. Built in Granada, Spain, during the 13th and 14th centuries, it contains several palaces that have rightly occupied a place of honor in the history of architecture because of their magnificent courtyards, spectacular domes, and luscious gardens. But the afterlife of the Alhambra is equally fascinating and worthy of attention, if not more. For this reason, the course is divided into two distinct but interrelated halves. The first part of the semester will examine the Alhambra's design as it was originally intended. More specifically, it will explore its emphasis on geometry, water features, gardens, inscriptions, and poetry on its walls, in order to understand the Alhambra's meaning and experience for medieval Muslim and Christian visitors. During the second half of the semester, the focus will shift to the Alhambra's afterlife with particular attention to three questions that will explore its changing meaning, identity, and physical appearance. First, how was it transformed into an orientalist fantasy in artistic and literary depictions? Second, how was it re-created through restorations, replicas all over the world, and tourist souvenirs? And last, how does its contested ownership and identity as a Spanish, Maghebri, Islamic, and world heritage monument, relate to the complex relationship of the western and Islamic worlds?

HOA 757 M001	Art History Symposium Project		TBD	Scott, Sascha			All candidates for the M.A. degree in art history participate in the Symposium Project in their final semester of study. The goals of this 3-credit-hour course are to give graduate students experience in the research, writing, and oral presentation of substantial and original scholarly work. The Symposium Project (HOA 757) requires intensive expenditure of effort and time, both in scheduled class meetings and in private consultations with faculty advisors.
