Welcome to Art of the MOOC - Colors, Bodies, Power! In this course, you will gain a much more diverse and inclusive understanding of contemporary culture and global art history. Engaging the course's key ideas of colors, bodies and power for their own formal merit and the value of the artworks and artists represented, you will also learn from six experts in the field, learn how key artworks and artistic principles from areas as wide as color theory, performance studies, and cultural theory relate to larger social topics like indigeneity, race, gender, sexuality, and disabilities. Whether you are interested in art and culture for personal or professional reasons, this course will allow you to connect important aspects of your life and practice to some of the most current and relevant aspects of contemporary art and social theory. As one of four in a series, 'Colors, Bodies, Power' complements and enriches the materials covered in the other ART of the MOOC courses.
