FA 154 Ceramics and the Body


3 credits

How can depictions of the body in contemporary art be understood through both a medical and sociocultural lens? What research informs the manner in which different bodies are depicted in visual culture?  How can we use this knowledge to better inform our analytic and empathetic approach to bodies through healthcare in a more holistic way? This course will explore these questions by examining how human psychology, physiology, and sociocultural factors have influenced artists working with the body.  It will do so through a combination of lecture and hands-on instruction in ceramics.
