What does it mean to make a “new” world? This undergraduate seminar explores the many ways in which the making of artifacts (things like maps, embroidered samplers, and paintings) helped early Americans develop new ideas about politics, sociality, and culture. In doing so, we will consider the unique perspectives of early America’s diverse range of makers: women and men, indigenous and colonial, enslaved and free; and how different modes of making sponsored different cultural models. Through our examination of a wide range of media from the colonial period through the Civil War, we will develop a material approach to the study of art by investigating the possibilities and limits posed by different materials and techniques. Restricted to Art History majors and minors with Junior or Senior standing, or with instructor permission Restriction(s): Restricted to students with Junior or Senior class standing.
