- ARTH 1105 Art as Visual Communication - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Morgan Currie
- Art is a term that is very familiar, but tricky to define in simple terms. This class explores how the modern notion of “art” came into being, and the different ways that it can function as a form of visual communication.
- Topics include:
- The development of the meaning of art, and the expectations for artists and viewers that came with this.
- Basic characteristics of the visual arts, including the elements of art (ie. line, shape, colour, texture), principles of pictorial organization, materials and techniques, issues pertaining to style and the different conditions under which art can be thought of as meaningful.
- Different ways of understanding how visual communication works, including sign systems, the relationship between images and texts, art and emotion, the involvement of the viewer, and the role of neuroscience in understanding response.
- A wide range of works from various periods and contexts will be considered

- ARTH 1200 History and Theory of Architecture 1: Prehistory to 1600 - Fall term
-
- Instructor: Peter Coffman
- Format: 2 lecture hours, 1 tutorial hour per week.
- Description: This survey of Western architecture to approximately 1600 serves as a foundation to subsequent courses in art, architecture and architectural history, and can also be a stand-alone exploration of history viewed through the lens of the built environment. It roams from Neolithic tombs to Greek and Roman temples to medieval castles to Islamic palaces to Renaissance churches and palazzi – with a great deal in between. In all cases, the buildings will be situated on a broad cultural and historical landscape, connecting them to the ideas, events and circumstances that originally gave them meaning.
- Evaluation: quiz, tutorial participation and attendance, midterm, short essay, exam.

- ARTH 1201 History and Theory of Architecture 2: 1600 to Present - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Michael Windover
- This course introduces key monuments and themes of Western architecture from about 1600 to the present. This period witnessed great architectural innovation and variation, from the dynamism of Baroque to austere Neo-classicism, from the scholarly Neo-Gothic to the seemingly anti-historicist architecture of the Modern Movement. We will investigate how religious, political, social, economic, and cultural events and ideas affected the production of architecture.
- 2 lecture hours, 1 tutorial hour per week

- Instructor: Peter Coffman
- Format: Lecture (two 1.5-hour lectures per week).
- Description: This course is a survey of the major monuments of medieval architecture and art from approximately the fourth to the fifteenth centuries. The course will be anchored in the study of architecture, which has with some justification been called “the mother of all [medieval] arts.” While the great cathedrals and abbeys unavoidably (and rightly) play a central role in the course, we will also look at small parish churches and secular buildings ranging from castles to middleclass houses. While exploring the architecture, we will look at closely related arts such as sculpture, mosaic and stained glass, as well as media such as metalwork and illuminated manuscripts.

- ARTH 2300 Italian Renaissance Art - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Morgan Currie
- The Italian Renaissance is a period of dramatic change in art and society. Renewed interest in human accomplishment and ancient culture laid the foundation for the emergence of the modern world. The visual arts grew in prestige, as creators such as Brunelleschi, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo and Titian transformed the notion of the artist from a skilled craftsman to a revered genius. This course examines the art and architecture of Renaissance Italy on formal, technical and theoretical grounds, and in relation to the social, religious and cultural context.

- ARTH 3000 Themes in Canadian Historical Art: Community, Nation & Identity - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Brian Foss
- Selected aspects of Canadian art in a variety of media. Students will be exposed to works in the National Capital region.
- “Canada”, like many nations at a time of globalism and mass migration, does not have a one-size-fits-all identity—and probably never did anyway. This course will examine the many relationships between historical and contemporary Canadian art, on the one hand, and the articulation of a variety of often competing identities. In such a complex country, with the multitude of groups that have for centuries made up its population, it’s impossible to single out any one Canadian identity as applying to even a majority of people, let alone to everyone. Topics to be considered include: gendered, racial and ethnic identities; language-based identities (especially in French Canada); First People’s contestations of political nationhood and international borders; and tensions that exist between regional and national identities. Coming on the heels of the 150th anniversary of Confederation in 2017, the course will encourage you to explore a range of definitions of “Canada”, as well as the ways in which the visual arts promote, problematize and undermine those definitions.
- Evaluation process: To be confirmed.
- Text: There is no required textbooks. Weekly readings from a variety of sources will be identified.

- ARTH 3600 Art Since 1945 - Fall term
-
- Instructor: Jill Carrick
- This course explores contemporary art in the global context from 1945 to the present. The 20th and 21st centuries have seen the rise of an extraordinary range of innovations in the visual arts. How have artists reimagined the role and language of art in response to dramatically shifting cultural conditions? Topics examined include movements such as Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art and Postmodernism, and practices such as object art, performance art, and installations.
- Classes are based on readings, illustrated lectures, class discussion and museum visits.
================
- ARTH 3809 A Closer Look at Art and Visual Culture: The Body in Motion - Fall term
-
- Instructor: Rhiannon Vogl
- This course examines a variety of artistic performative practices that employ walking or running, in both historical and contemporary contexts. Beginning with historical and theoretical material on performance art, we will examine how artists have attempted to achieve an unmediated bodily engagement with their chosen environment (the city, the countryside, the gallery). Through readings and in-depth discussions of specific works of art, this course explores how such movements can be employed as artistic acts, investigates their subversive and critical potential, and reveals how they (re)invigorate everyday life with moments of poetic creativity.
================
- ARTH 3810 A Closer Look at the Designed Environment: The Indigenous Architectural Landscape of Canada - Fall term
-
- Instructor: Daniel Millette
- In spite of several hundred years of difficult challenges that include culturally destructive colonial strategies, many indigenous communities are experiencing a period of self-actualized revitalization whereby “culture” is openly celebrated and outwardly presented. This is apparent through art, language and tradition, all manifested through a number of community facets, including the topic of this course: architecture on indigenous lands. Many traditional tenets related to architectural design are shared by First Nations. Indeed, and in sharp contrast to John May’s assertion that “traditional vernacular architecture is disappearing”, a surge of indigenous-initiated environmental design initiatives has emerged in what is now Canada, much of it as unique architectural typologies brought about by new, or renewed needs. This is design that derives from beyond place and program; it stems directly from cultural consequences.
- Through lectures, directed readings and student presentations, this course will be focused on two fronts: A close examination of present-day architecture on indigenous lands – traditional and contemporary, and a critical look at the colonial impacts of indigenous environmental design.
================
- ARTH 4005 Topics in Contemporary Aboriginal Art: Creative Engagement with Aboriginal Self-Portraits - Winter term
-
- Creative Engagement with Aboriginal Self-Portraits: A Discourse on the Nature of Self-Representation
- Instructor: Alan Ryan, New Sun Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture, Associate Professor, Art History/Indigenous and Canadian Studies
- Contact: allan.ryan@carleton.ca; www.trickstershift.com.
- Course description: This course will take as its primary referent, About Face: Self-Portraits by Native American, First Nations and Inuit Artists, the catalogue to an exhibition of contemporary Aboriginal self-portraits co-curated by the instructor, and shown at the Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2005-2006. Still the only exhibition of its kind, this body of work will be considered in light of the history of Native American self-representation, from its early focus on communal and socio-political identities to the emergence of more individualistic portrayals in the late 19th and early 20th century; and in light of the history of Western self-portraiture from the Renaissance period to the present. Interdisciplinary thinking is encouraged.
- This course is more broadly about the construction of personal identity and its public presentation, and the implementation of Indigenous pedagogical approaches to teaching and learning that privilege holistic and experiential learning, the construction of safe and sacred spaces, relationality, personal narratives, and writing from the heart. As such, a primary component of the course is the creation and presentation of a student self-portrait viewed in conversation with those of fellow classmates and Aboriginal artists discussed in the course.
- This class is unlike any other class you are likely to take. As one student wrote, quoting from the Wheelwright Museum comment book, “‘The show is beautiful, dynamic and will stay with me for a long time.’ That’s the way I feel about this course. I am truly grateful for this course, the experience I had here was unlike any other and the stories I heard will stay with me.”
- Course format: lectures, guest speakers, videos, seminar discussion and class presentations.
- Required texts:
- Exhibition catalogue, About Face: Native American, First Nations, and Inuit Self-Portraits, Zena Pearlstone and Allan J. Ryan, curators. Santa Fe, New Mexico: Wheelwright Museum of the American Indian, 2006. Available from the instructor. ($35)
- The Truth About Stories: A Native Narrative, Thomas King, Anansi, 2003. Available from Haven Books (Seneca and Sunnyside)
- Supplementary resources (articles, books and DVDs) will be placed on reserve in the MacOdrum Library and/or on the course website.

================
- ARTH 4602 Issues in the Theory and History of Photography - Fall term
-
- Instructor: Carol Payne
- Indigeneity and Photography: Practices and Representations
- This seminar will address the history of how Indigenous peoples have used the still camera and how they have been represented in photographs. Through a series of case studies, we will look at how the camera has been used in the colonial encounter—both as a tool of subjugation and one of cultural reclamation. We will approach this topic by drawing on some of the rich collections in the National Capital Region and learning about contemporary Indigenous approaches to photography. We will largely explore photography as related to North American Indigenous peoples but will also discuss Aboriginal photography in Australia.
- Assigned readings will be drawn from recent publications in Photo Studies, Memory Studies, Visual Anthropology as well as contemporary and historic Indigenous photo-based art, possibly including scholarship by Sherry Farrell Racette, Christopher Pinney, Jane Lydon, Deborah Poole, Elizabeth Edwards, Hulleah J. Tsinhnahjinnie and Linda Tuhiwai Smith.

- ARTH 4800 Topics in Architectural History: Canadian Architecture - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Michael Windover
- Reconstructing Canada: Modern Architecture and Design, 1945-1967
- The decades following the Second World War witnessed dramatic changes to the built fabric of Canada. These changes corresponded with new conceptions of Canadian society and lifestyle, which were discussed by architects, designers, policy makers, and ordinary citizens. Modernism became a rallying cry for many reformers, although their visions of a prosperous Canada often differed.
- This period has seen increasing scholarly and popular attention lately as we take stock of the impact of modernism(s) today. This course examines some of this recent work. Students will consider what our modern architecture and design say about values held at the time and—by extension—those held today. In addition to course readings, students will work with primary documents pertaining to the designed environment in Canada.

================
- ARTH 4809W Topics in Art History and Criticism: The 'historiographic turn' in contemporary art - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Birgit Hopfener
- Topic: The “historiographic turn” in contemporary art
- In today’s heterogeneous global art world, practices and discourses of contemporary art are no longer constituted through one master narrative but through multiple and transculturally entangled art histories, which challenges the discipline of art history that conventionally has been conceptualized and practiced according to a framework of national or regional histories. The seminar examines historiographic works by locally situated and globally engaged contemporary artists from different regions of the world as evidence and articulations of today’s transcultural reality and contextualizes them discursively by getting acquainted with contemporary art discourses on issues such as “the historiographic turn in contemporary art”, “contemporary artists as historians”, “posthistoire”, “post-colonial historiography and decolonialization”, “criticism of post-colonial identity politics and the continued logic of othering”, “disjunctive contemporaneity”, “entangled histories.”

================
- ARTH 5112C Topics in Historiography, Methods and Criticism - Winter term
-
- Instructor: Birgit Hopfener
- Topic: Present’s Disjunctive Unity. Examining Concepts and Histories of Contemporaneity
- What concepts of ‘the contemporary’ exist around the world and what are histories of contemporaneity? Discussions about the contemporary as a historical present are nothing new. Yet, given our more recent experiences of living in a technologically densely connected and mediated ‘global’ and conflicted world – that is a heterotemporal contemporary reality – and given that this global connectivity has also let to a ‘global turn’ in researching histories of art and culture, it is clear that conventional unifocal concepts and narratives of “the contemporary” are challenged, if not in crisis. Starting point of this course is the question how concepts of contemporaneity are constituted through multiple and sometimes entangled histories. Based on examinations of art practices and artists as well as key publications on the question of what is ‘contemporaneity’ the course on the one hand introduces students to multiple concepts as well as histories of contemporary art and their respective turning points of contemporary art e.g. in Europe, USA; East Asia, Latin America and Africa. On the other hand it introduces students to one of the most heated discussion in the field of contemporary art research at the current moment.
- Among others we will for example take into account the following publications: Agamben, Giorgio, ‘What is Contemporary?’, in: What is an Apparatus? And Other Essays, trans. David Kishik and Stefan Pedatella, Stanford: Stanford University Press, 2009. Bourriaud, Nicolas (ed.), Altermodern exh.cat., London: Tate Publishing, 2009 Dipesh Chakrabarty, ‘Postcoloniality and the Artifice of History: Who Speaks for the Indian Pasts?’ Representations 37 (1992), 1-26.

- Issues in Transnationalism: Curating the Global
- In recent years, museums from the Centre Georges Pompidou to the Tate Modern and the Museum of Modern Art in New York have sought to re-install their permanent collections to reflect a more global story of modern and contemporary art. This class takes these re-installations, as well as the re-installation of the Canadian Galleries at the National Gallery of Canada and the Canadian Biennial “Untitled (Canada), 2017” as a starting point for discussing the question of curating the global.
- In addition to considering museum collections, the course will also engage with a number of international exhibitions and biennials to think about how the global is articulated in different sites, or “worlded.”
