In this followup course, we will start with Abstract Expressionism and continue studying the variations in this style through contemporary mainstream and fringe multicultural abstract artists, including the San Francisco School, the Bay Area Abstract Expressionists, The New York School, the Taos Moderns, Native American Painters and Northwest Artists. We will examine the work in relation to concurrent historical, social and technological developments. In addition, we will review the terminology and language of abstraction to better describe, understand and analyze the works we study. Textbook, World of Art: Abstract Art, Anna Moszynska, 2020.

ENRICHMENT Understanding Trauma Through lecture, discussion and group interaction, students will gain a greater understanding of what trauma is and how it affects people, including their behaviors, thought processes and feelings. The discussion will include viewing trauma in the short, intermediate and long terms. Much of the generally available information on trauma is misleading and simply inaccurate, so this course will provide a concrete definition of trauma and its different levels (i.e. the trauma continuum). The course will look at the interventions, therapies and support that are most likely to help persons impacted by trauma, and also the potential limitations and risks with those efforts. We’ll address issues such as symptom management versus healing, the role of diagnosis and advanced topics of cultural and intergenerational trauma.
