Draw inspiration from both ancient and contemporary art traditions and cultures around the world. Investigate the work of artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Frida Kahlo, Jennie Kappenman, and more. Create projects inspired by Amate bark paintings and Kehinde Wiley self portraits, and play with patterns, symmetry, and color to create unique works of art.

The course concludes with a worldly showcase of artwork for friends and family to admire.

Land Acknowledgement

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) acknowledges it is located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people. This is the ancestral homeland of the Dakota and Ojibwe people, who were forcibly exiled from the land because of aggressive and persistent settler colonialism. We recognize that this place has a complex and layered history. As a community dedicated to creativity, MCAD is committed to ongoing efforts to support and advocate for American Indian Nations and peoples.
