Contemporary Art in Chicago is a hands-on initiation into Chicago's vibrant visual art scene. You will visit museums and galleries throughout the city and get the unique opportunity to step behind the scenes into artists' studios and collectors' homes, where you will see works in progress, ask questions, and get to know the real people who make up Chicago's art world. Discussions and conversations with artists and curators provide context and intimacy to this exploration of the creative fabric of our city. NOTE: This course meets outside of a classroom setting and will travel to different locations throughout Chicago. Students should know that some class sessions will require physical activity, including walking up to three blocks, taking public transportation, climbing stairs, and standing for extended periods.
This course fulfills the Art History Course requirement for the Drawing and Painting certificates.
