SUMMARY:Post-Modern Art History Course
DESCRIPTION:Join art historian and teaching artist Dr. Jill Kiefer for this Post-Modern Art history course.\nthroughout the course sessions we’ll be looking at art that developed (largely from WWII forward) that reacts against earlier modernist principles. Five two-hour course sessions starting Saturday\, September 14th from 10am – 12 noon (5 consecutive Saturday mornings) \nCourse Description\nWhen “postmodernism” actually begins or ends—chronologically—is always a subject for debate. In this course\, we’ll be looking at art that developed (largely from WWII forward) that reacts against earlier modernist principles. In some cases\, artists reintroduced traditional or classical elements of style into their work. Others carried modernist styles or practices to extremes. The movements we explore in this class will include Abstract Expressionism\, Second Generation Abstract Expressionism\, Pop Art\, Minimalism\, and Neo-Expressionism. There are a number of sub-movements that fall within these broad descriptors—such as Action Painting\, Color Field Painting\, Post-Painterly Abstraction and Hard Edge Painting\, to name just a few. Join us to discover where modernism would lead—or not lead—in a postwar and international artistic climate. \nSaturday\, September 14 | Session One: Abstract Expressionism\nAbstract Expressionists were committed to art as expressions of the self. Building on the legacy of Surrealism\, these artists revealed both profound emotions and universal themes prevalent in a post-war mood of anxiety and trauma. Sub-movements include Action Painting and Color Field Painting. Artists explored will include Clyfford Still\, Jackson Pollock\, Willem de Kooning\, Hans Hofmann\, Franz Kline\, Mark Rothko\, and Helen Frankenthaler\, among others. \nSaturday\, September 21 | Session Two: The Second Generation\nEarlier Abstract Expressionism would influence a “Second Generation” of the movement\, featuring artists with slightly different concerns. Unlike their forebears\, the second-generation artists’ emphasis shifted from the interior\, subjective world to the objective exterior – analyzing and questioning what gives things meaning. Artists explored will include Robert Motherwell\, Kenneth Noland\, Frank Stella\, Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell\, among others. \nSaturday\, September 28 | Session Three: Pop Art\nBy creating paintings or sculptures of mass culture objects and media stars\, the Pop art movement sought to break down the boundaries between “high” art and “low” culture. The concept that there is no hierarchy of culture and that art may borrow from any source has been one of the most influential characteristics of Pop art. Pop artists believed everything is interconnected\, and their goal was to make those connections literal in their artwork. Artists explored will include Andy Warhol\, Claes Oldenburg\, Roy Lichtenstein \, Jasper Johns\, and David Hockney\, among others. \nSaturday\, October 5 | Session Four: Minimalism\nThe Minimalists believed that Action Painting was too personal and insubstantial. Instead\, drawing inspiration from the earlier Color Field painters\, they adopted the point of view that a work of art should not refer to anything other than itself. For that reason\, they attempted to rid their works of any extra-visual association. Use of the hard edge\, the simple form\, and the linear (rather than the painterly) approach was intended to emphasize two-dimensionality and to allow the viewer an immediate\, purely visual response to art. Like the painters\, Minimalist sculptors attempted to make their works totally objective\, unexpressive\, and non-referential. Artists explored will include Dan Flavin\, Donald Judd\, Richard Serra\, Sol LeWitt and Agnes Martin\, among others. \nSaturday\, October 12 | Session Five: Neo-Expressionism\nNeo-Expressionism comprised a varied assemblage of young artists who had returned to portraying the human figure and other recognizable objects\, in reaction to the remote\, introverted\, highly intellectualized abstract art production of the 1970s. The result was a return to the story-telling that had been rejected by earlier movements\, which some scholars see as the “true” dividing line between “modernism” and “postmodernism”. Artists explored will include George Baselitz\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Anselm Kiefer\, Elizabeth Murray and Francesco Clemente\, among others. \nREGISTER NOW\n

SUMMARY:The Art of Mexico: A Rich Tapestry of Traditions
DESCRIPTION:Course Description:\nThe art of Mexico embodies that country’s long struggle to form a cultural and artistic identity. Embedded in Mexico’s artistic production is a centuries-long cultural heritage articulated in influences including the Pre-Columbian\, Spanish Colonial\, and Western European traditions\, among others. In this class\, we will focus on the efforts of Mexican artists to develop styles that merge historical\, social\, political\, religious\, cultural and individual concerns. Mexican art reveals both a revolutionary  spirit—and deep ties to antiquity\, the West\, and the broader contemporary world. From the overtly political murals of Diego Rivera and the Mexican Muralist School to the deeply personal works of such artists as Frida Kahlo\, Rufino Tamayo and Mexico’s extraordinary contemporary\, graphic and folk artists\, there is a thread linking the distant past to the future that remains unbroken. \nThis course will be a journey along that continuum. (Five 2-hour sessions on Saturday 10am-12pm). \nSession 1: 1/25/2020\n“Origins of the Mexican Identity: Pre-Columbian Art (c. 1200-1535 CE)”\nThe civilizations of Central America (Mesoamerica) were roughly contemporaneous with the European Christian era. The Pre-Columbian culture was seemingly brought to an end by the Spanish conquest. However\, the art of this era is embedded in Mexican art throughout its history. Today\, we will examine this period\, including Mayan and Aztec art. \nSession 2: 2/1/2020\n“The Spanish Colonial Era”\nToday\, special attention will be paid to the impact of Spanish control over Mexico. We’ll look at the contributions of the conquerors to Mexican art and culture and will also identify the remaining influences of the Pre-Columbian tradition. We’ll also look at Mexico’s struggle of forming a cultural and artistic identity\, after winning independence in 1821. Artists we look at will include José Juárez\, Juan Correa\, and Cristóbal de Villalpando\, among others \nSession 3: 2/8/2020\n“Revolution\, Class Struggle and the Mexican Muralist School”\nToday we’ll examine the work of the key Mexican Muralists\, which developed following the Mexican Revolution (1910-1920). Artists we look at will include Diego Rivera\, José Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. \nSession 4: 2/15/2020\n“Modernism and the Synthesis of Roots”\nBreaking Away from the Mexican Muralists in the mid-20th Century\, artists such as Frida Kahlo\, Rudolfo Tamayo\, Emilio Amero\, Amador Lugo. Rosa Rolanda\, Dr. Atl (Gerardo Murillo)\, and many others developed a new vision for both the content and role of art. Today\, we will examine this period and its significance in forming an identity for Mexican art. \nSession 5: 2/22/2020 “A Merging of Styles and Purposes”\nToday we will examine Mexican art as part of the school of the world. We’ll look at more contemporary religious\, secular and folk genres to discover their significance in the “definition” of Mexican art\, and summarize where Mexican art is today. \nCourse Format:\nCourse materials for each lesson will be posted each Wednesday. The Instructor provides all materials for this course including: visual presentations; recommended reading lists; articles of interest; and\, other relevant printed materials.\nOnce Upon A Time – background info and relevant printed material will be provided\nVisual presentation (this will include a slide presentation and ongoing class discussions)\nStudents may contact the Instructor via e-mail with questions\, in between class sessions \nCourse Objectives and Student Learning Outcomes:\nUpon completion of this course\, students will be able to:\nIdentify some key works of art from the Mexican (and other) traditions\, and discuss them in the contexts of Art History and the Humanities;\nDiscuss the relationships between past and present cultural traditions as they are articulated in Mexican art;\nIdentify and discuss the cross-fertilization of historical\, political\, religious\, economic and visual influences embodied in the art of Mexico\, from interdisciplinary perspectives;\nRecognize the subject matter and content of the course in broader contexts \nAttendance/Absence/Tardiness Policy: If you are registered for the class\, please make every effort to be on time and participate. \nElectronic Device Policy: Students are asked to turn ringer tones on their cell phones off during class—and to take any essential calls on their cell phones outside of the virtual classroom. \nMeet your Instructor: Jill Kiefer \n Dr. Jill Kiefer is an art historian and teaching artist. \nDr. Jill Kiefer is an art historian and teaching artist.

SUMMARY:100 Great Artists of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:The 20th century opened with the legacies of Impressionism\, Post-Impressionism\, and all of the eras and movements that preceded them. Our look at the great artists of the 20th century will touch upon all of the major art movements of that century—in the European\, American\, and non-Western arenas.Beginning with Paul Cézanne and Claude Monet—who took the modern era in quite different directions—we’ll examine those artists who became part of the continuum that is art history\, by making significant contributions to what would become the art of a new century.

SUMMARY:PICASSO ONLINE: The Man - The Myth - The Legend
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this fascinating 5-week Pablo PIcasso online art history class lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D. and Bethany Arts Community.\nTuesdays\, 10am – 11am September 15th – October 13th. \nSpanish expatriate painter\, sculptor\, printmaker\, ceramicist\, and stage designer Pablo Picasso remains the most influential artist of the twentieth century\, and is regarded as one of the greatest artists of all time. The creator (with Georges Braque) of Cubism\, Picasso continues to be a figure hotly debated–but always admired. In this course\, we’ll examine the tumultuous life and works of the inseparable man and artist\, who was–by far–the most prolific artistic genius in history.

SUMMARY:The Harlem Renaissance: A Golden Age
DESCRIPTION:The Harlem Renaissance holds the distinction of being the longest running movement in the history of art! Join us on Friday\, February 19th – 7:30 PM (1 hour) to celebrate its remarkable achievements with this Online Course facilitated by JILL KIEFER\, Ph.D. \nRegister\nThe term Harlem Renaissance refers to the prolific flowering of literary\, visual\, and musical arts within the African American community that emerged around 1920 in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. The visual arts were one component of a rich cultural development\, including many interdisciplinary collaborations\, where artists worked closely with writers\, publishers\, playwrights\, and musicians. There was no single style that defined the Harlem Renaissance. Rather\, artists found different ways to celebrate African American culture and identity and historical links that dignified and expanded the history of the African American experience. \nWith Thanks and Acknowledgement:\nThis program is sponsored by Ossining Innovates!

SUMMARY:Reincarnations: Finding the Past in the Present (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Every generation of artists wants to express its own ideas\, address its own issues\, and develop its own innovations. Modernists\, in particular\, felt that the great masterworks which had preceded them no longer “spoke” to the world in which they lived. Scholars often reinforce this idea by illustrating the differences between art eras and movements through processes of comparison and contrast. But we are all part of human culture. We also cannot “un-know” what we know. Try as we might\, we cannot pretend that art created in the “past” has not somehow figured art of the “present”. We might not receive\, perceive\, or interpret earlier works of art as someone from centuries ago might have done—but the humanity at their core remains highly relevant. In this series\, we will examine the ways in which the art of the past has remained very much alive in the present—either directly or indirectly. Art is an ongoing continuum. Great works of art remain alive forever. Join us on this journey to discover how—and why!\n\nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for this fascinating 6-week art history Online Course lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D.\nSix Sessions – Saturdays – 10:00 – 11:00 AM – February 13 – March 20\, 2021 \nREGISTER FOR ONLINE COURSE

SUMMARY:Michelangelo: The First Modern Artist? (Online Course)
DESCRIPTION:Michelangelo is one of art history’s earliest true “characters” and his influence on art continues to be unparalleled. Everybody knows his name. But how much do you really know about him?

Often temper driven\, fickle\, and difficult—he nevertheless found lifelong support by the era’s most renowned patrons and produced some of the world’s most iconic masterpieces. More recently\, discoveries of his work now place him at the forefront of modern art! Take this class to find out why—and to go far beyond what you think you know about Michelangelo. He was a highly complex individual\, with a fascinating history\, and an artistry that sets him apart from all others. \nJoin us at Bethany Arts Community for this fascinating 6-week art history Online Course lead by Jill Kiefer\, Ph.D.\nSix Sessions – Saturdays\, 10:00 – 11:00 AM\, April 10th – May 15th \n  \nREGISTER FOR ONLINE COURSE

SUMMARY:Georgia O’Keeffe: The Mother of American Modernism - Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer
DESCRIPTION:Georgia O’Keeffe played a pivotal role in the development of American modernism and its relationship to European avant-garde movements of the early-20th century. Producing a substantial body of work over seven decades\, she sought to capture the emotion and power of objects through abstracting the natural world. O’Keeffe incorporated the techniques of other artists into her work and was especially influenced by photographer Paul Strand and painter Arthur Dove. However\, her art is uniquely her own\, and she always danced to her own tune. Join us to learn more about this fascinating artist and woman. \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\nSix Sessions: Saturdays\, 10/2 – 11/6 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM

SUMMARY:Kandinsky: A Transcendent Experience - Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer
DESCRIPTION:One of the pioneers of abstract modern art\, Wassily Kandinsky exploited the evocative interrelation between color and form to create an aesthetic experience that engaged the sight\, sound\, and emotions of the public. He believed that total abstraction offered the possibility for profound\, transcendental expression. Kandinsky’s visual vocabulary developed from early representational works to rapturous and operatic compositions\, and then to geometric and biomorphic flat planes of color. Join us to explore the contributions of this highly significant contributor to modernism. \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\nSix Sessions: Tuesdays\, 9/28 – 11/2 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM \n

SUMMARY:MAGIC\, MYTH AND MONSTERS: THE MIDDLE AGES - Online Course
DESCRIPTION:MAGIC\, MYTH AND MONSTERS: THE MIDDLE AGES (and its influences on modernism) with Instructor: Dr. Jill Kiefer\nONLINE ZOOM CLASS – Six Weeks\nTuesdays\, April 12 – May 17 – 10:00 – 11:00 AM \nThe Middle Ages was a remarkable thousand-year-long civilization—underscored by a wholly unique culture and artistic tradition. The art of the era was developed by the people of the day\, without much influence from what had preceded it. Medieval art evolved from being incredibly naive to highly sophisticated\, and its legacy would be lasting. In this course\, we’ll thoroughly explore the exciting art of the medieval world and identify the threads that connect it to subsequent traditions. We’ll see that the art of the Middle Ages has remained very much alive throughout time—and that evolving artistic innovations are quite indebted to it! \nREGISTER FOR COURSE\n
