  • FINE 318: Film And Video As Art

    3.00 Credits
    Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

    This hybrid course is a survey of avant-garde and experimental film and video from the early twentieth century to the present, and an interdisciplinary studio course. Students will view and critically analyze avant-garde films and videos, both in class discussions and in short papers, and consider the distinctive characteristics of time-based artworks. In addition, students will view artworks (paintings, prints, photos, etc.) contemporaneous to the films shown sometimes made by the filmmakers themselves and identify the formal and conceptual relationships between the films/videos and artworks. They will apply these critical perspectives to their own art making (in their medium or media of choice) and will develop the vocabulary to critically assess their peers' art works. (6 c.h., 3 s.h.)
