ARFA 806 - Art as Global Communication

3 credits
From global to local, one of the important roles of Urban Art is to express the great cultural and ethnic variety of our modern cities. Urban Art has been recognized by the administrations of modern cities as an important tool for bringing people together, urban beautification, and promotion of cultural identities. In the East coast, specific programs have been created to promote Urban Art such as the beautiful mosaics in the NYC Subway or the Murals program in Philadelphia. Students will have the opportunity to analyze this phenomenon from a social point of view: how urban art, both organized and spontaneous, expresses the multifaceted identity of our modern urban centers and ameliorates the quality of life of the people that live in them.
