Multicultural art can be defined as art rooted on cultural values. The artwork created can serve as a narrative representing a culture’s beliefs, traditions, and history. This course aims to expand the student’s creativity through the analysis of multicultural art and teach them how to implement a universal artistic language within their creative process.
Studying multicultural art can help uncover underlying meanings within the artwork and provide insight into the represented culture. Furthermore, this insight can become fuel for inspiration and simultaneously help students avoid stereotypical multicultural representation. This class will teach students how to discover inspiration rooted in their personal cultural history, how to
properly represent different cultures with empathy and understanding, and how to implement elements of multicultural art to improve visual communication.
The class will teach the basic fundamentals of design, composition, shape language, storytelling, color theory, skin tones and iconography with a strong emphasis on knowledgeable research and working with references.
