ARTH 5097. Graduate Design: Graphic Design Theory. 3 Credit Hours.
This course will introduce students to contemporary design theories and discourse. It will examine the theoretical aspects of artifacts through their making, reading, and dissemination. Graphic design and communication theories will be compared to those in literature and architecture. Students will use discussion, writing, presentations, and design to investigate contemporary design issues. Emphasis will be placed on forming and articulating an individual point of view in discussion and writing. Based on the semester-long discussion about how we visually communicate, all students will draw a revised diagram of the Communication Model developed by Meredith Davis in 2012. Students will also write a 1000-word reflection on the factors that have influenced this eight-year evolution.

Embark on an exploration of the historical tapestry of illustrated communication. This journey traces the roots of visual storytelling from ancient civilizations to the contemporary landscape. Uncover the diverse forms and functions of illustration, discovering its pivotal role in shaping cultural narratives, political discourse, and the visual aesthetics of various epochs. Engage with illustration's varied formats, analyze influential works, and participate in discussions exploring themes such as the intersection of illustration with gender, race, and socio-political movements. By the end of this study, participants will gain a nuanced understanding of how illustration has mirrored and shaped the ever-changing dynamics of human civilization. Graduate students will either conduct an in-depth annotated research project relevant to the course themes, embracing advanced research methods and documentation, or curate a comprehensive course portfolio that includes detailed annotations and reflections on their work for future professional use.

ARTH 5351. Introduction to Arts Management Practice: Mission, Values and Community. 3 Credit Hours.
Arts Administration describes a vibrant scope of thought and activity that kindles and advances creativity, connects artists and audiences, and creates programs and policies that enhance intellectual and civic life. This course provides an introduction to institutional (and anti-institutional) models, and skills that support creation, exhibition, public education and community building through art including: museums, exhibition spaces, collectives, philanthropies, community arts centers and residencies. The aesthetic, demographic and political dynamics shaping the current cultural moment challenge the field to reexamine its history, practices, foundational assumptions, operations and programs and the ways in which leadership is expressed. Therefore, our exploration of the fundamentals of budgeting, finance, governance, policy, the role of philanthropy, management and operations will be framed by current questions of mission, institutional ethics, cultural equity, access and service. The focus will be on non-profit cultural models, both traditional and emerging, but the course will also touch on characteristics shared with "for-profit" creative enterprises and how cultural trends influence relationships between the commercial and non-profit sectors.

This course provides students with an introduction to the art and architecture of the Mediterranean and Middle East during the first centuries of Islam, ca. 650-1250 - a vibrant period that witnessed the emergence of one of the world's most wide-spread and enduring faith traditions. Through the investigation of key objects and architectural monuments, students will be trained to analyze how aspects of visual culture and the built environment relate to the social and political contexts in which they were produced. Particular emphasis will be placed on the establishment of new spatial and visual vocabularies, the legacies of earlier artistic traditions in the formation of Islamic art, as well as cross-cultural exchange between the Islamic world and its neighbors (particularly Western Europe and East Asia). We will also address the importance of modern interpretations of early Islamic art, especially the politics of collecting and museum display. In addition to lectures, students will meet with the instructor for an additional hour every week to discuss advanced readings. They will also be asked to take a midterm and final exam, which will account for 30% of their final grade.

ARTH 5408. The History of Printmaking and Print Culture. 3 Credit Hours.
The invention of the printing press in western Europe in the 1400s contributed to important and lasting changes about how people thought about images and image-making. In addition to gaining an understanding of the technical processes involved in the production of books, woodcuts, engravings, etchings, and lithographs, students will focus on the social and economic facets of print communication as an aesthetic and as a compelling component of visual culture. The course is designed chronologically but also according to themes and major artists, with the aim of relating the history of print and book culture to some of the broader cultural and artistic concerns of the period. Some of the central issues we shall discuss are the relationship between manuscript and early book production; the nature of the 'original' vs. the 'copy'; the space of prints as a realm for experimentation and new subject matter; the role of collaboration and also individual graphic virtuosity; and the modern 'print revivals' of the 19th and 20th centuries. We also shall reevaluate certain myths about the so-called printing revolution, poised as we are in a new digital age defined as another kind of explosion of images. Major figures we will study in terms of graphic virtuosity are Andrea Mantegna, Albrecht Dürer, Jacques Callot, Hendrick Goltzius, Rembrandt van Rijn, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco Goya, Edouard Manet, James Abbott McNeill Whistler, Mary Cassatt, Edvard Munch, and Käthe Kollwitz.

ARTH 8401. Text + Image: Framing the Modern Illustrated Book. 3 Credit Hours.
Text or Image? Art or Craft? Page or Book? Essential or Ancillary? As these pairings propose, illustration engages the viewer in complex interrelated processes and hence functions very differently than other art forms. Image and text operate both independently and in combination as signifiers. Perhaps that is partially why we lack a critical framework with which to assess illustrated books. In this online course, we will use digital tools and collaborative technologies to develop evaluative criteria for the illustrated book and then apply this critical framework to an individually-selected case study. The seminar will also assess relevant factors impacting the development of illustrated books, such as cultural diffusion and interchange; patterns of literacy and education; production markets and aesthetic value of craft. Additionally, in the last part of the course, the focus will shift to book illustration in the period after 1850, addressing publishing technologies as well as noteworthy avant-garde exemplars. This has been created as an online course, which allows for a greater flexibility in the student's schedule; it may be adjusted for full classroom or hybrid. NOTE: Designed especially for current students enrolled in the MFA programs, in particular students of Graphic Design.

The course is partly lecture-based and partly discussion-based, and is intended to be taken by all first-year MFA students in order to provide them with a strong base for their own work and their evaluation of the work of other artists, both past and present. This class will only be offered in the Fall semester.

In addition to gaining an understanding of the processes involved in the making of woodcuts, engravings, etchings, and lithography, students will focus on the conceptual, social, political, and economic aspects of the art of the print. The course is designed chronologically but also according to themes and major artists, with the aim of showing that printmaking has its own history and at the same time relates to the broader cultural and artistic concerns of the period. Major figures we will study in terms of graphic virtuosity include Albrecht Dürer, Marcantonio Raimondi, Jacques Callot, Hendrick Goltzius, Rembrandt van Rijn, Giovanni Battista Piranesi, Francisco Goya, Mary Cassatt, James Abbott McNeil Whistler, and Otto Dix, among others. Students will have the opportunity to develop papers that dovetail with their own fields and interests, as well as with additional strengths of the museum collection, including Japanese, and modern American and Mexican prints.
