ART 344 - Performance Art


Prerequisite, ART 325 , or consent of instructor. This course will offer an in depth study of the theory and practice of performance art. With the idea that the body is a medium to be used as a tool for creating contemporary art, students will explore a variety of approaches to making and viewing performance art. This course will look at the history and theory of performance art, as it is distinguished from dance, theater, or other body-related actions. Students will devise their own individual and group performance art pieces, to be performed in the classroom and at site-specific venues. (Offered spring semester, alternate years.) 3 credits
