ART 126 : ART IN ACTION: PERFORMANCE ART (A)

Art in Action will delve into the connections between Performance Art and multiple disciplines within the humanities. Students will examine historical and contemporary Performance Art through films, lectures and readings. Students will also create actions of their own. No prior visual art or performance experience is required for this studio work. In fact, new creators might be at an advantage due to their lack of familiarity with typical art practices. Students will work individually and in groups to create actions that involve visual, written, oral or sonic expression.
