art over the last century • Re-examines traditional art history narratives through a queer lens • Explores how New York city has played a part in developing the queer art canon • Emphasizes engagement with art history through a personal experience skill set, rather than an academic skill set Learning Outcomes: • Students will become skilled observers of a set of objects and images that constitute a visual and material history of queer history in the United States, with a special focus on New York City. • Students will deepen their engagement with queer community in New York City by developing project-based art with peers during each class in relation to the course syllabus, and by exploring course objects and images in-person with one class field trip (at the end of the course) to a museum in the city.

This can be complete fantasy, or it can be the story that the image is trying to tell you. Don’t worry about form, or plot. Just tell yourself a story and see where it goes.
