L01 Art-Arch 4745Cahokia to Contemporary: Native American Arts, Past(s) and Future3.0 Units
Description:The arts of Native American communities demand a primary place in both American and global art histories. The historic depth, variety of cultural expression, and circumstances of the collection, exhibition and interpretation of Native arts continue to demand our careful and critical attention. We are well situated in St Louis to consider both indigenous artistic cultures of our own region, and to observe the vitality of Native modern and contemporary art practice. Key concerns include the artists' relationship to space and place, their presentation of identities, politicized and activist dimensions of their practices, their negotiation of issues of race and gender, and their conscious relationships to both historic traditions and to contemporary culture. With a focus on what's on view in St Louis in 2025, we will examine a works from the Mississippian cultures exemplified by the nearby sites of Cahokia and Sugar Loaf Mound, twentieth-century pottery from the Southwest, historic materials at the Kemper Art Museum, and modern and postmodern works on view by such artists as Fritz Scholder, Edgar Heap- -of-Birds, Juane Quick-to-See Smith, Faye HeavyShield, Wendy Red Star, Rose Simpson, and others. Class field trips to Cahokia and a weekend trip to visit the First Americans Museum of Oklahoma City are funded by a generous CRE2 Rotating Graduate Studio grant. Prerequisites: One 300-level course in Art History and Archaeology, or permission of instructor

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
