Overview

This third course examines the explosion of the mass media and its expression in Pop art as well as the rise of the simpler, but equally powerful movement called Minimalism. Conceptual art, performance/body art, Land Art, takes us into the countercultural 70s, and then finally the dizzying glut of the information age and Postmodernism.

    A very interesting, inspiring and well thought out course. It was very helpful to dive deep into the study. And it is very convenient when so much information is collected in one place. I also liked the accessibility and simple and understandable language used in teaching.

    The course engages you from the very beginning, makes you think and work. It is also interesting to see the results of other people's work.

    For myself, I was able to learn a lot of interesting things and am ready to continue my studies. I also chose certain authors for myself, about whom I would like to learn more.

Never Stop Learning.
