Multiple Modes of Inquiry

SAR 205 01 20th Century Art I

I took 20th Century Art I as a requirement for the Art Therapy program.
This class also falls under the Artistic Expression for Multiple Modes of Inquiry
in the learning objectives. This course gives students the ability to look at
art in a more understanding way and relate it to the history of its time. The
class also gives information of artists and their lives. Through this class I
was able to locate and analyze expressive media to gain information and
comprehend the significance of issues and events. We focused on current
issues by first looking at current issues of the past by investigating the world
of art.
One assignment in particular had us reenact a time period while
playing the parts of artist, curators and art dealers of the time. We had to
research and present the ideas of our assigned character and play situations
out in class. This assignment gave me experience in being able to organize
and manage resources in a creative way to achieve impact. By finding a
creative way to gain research and present our findings we were able to
understand on a different level.
