EarthDiverse: "The Interplay Between Art & Popular Culture"

todd from EarthDiverse

Check out one of EarthDiverse's newest courses, ART205: ”The Interplay Between Art & Popular Culture,” a 3-week course delivered over three consecutive live or Zoom sessions, beginning Wed 18 Oct, 11am-1pm (NZ time) or Tuesday 17 Oct 3:00pm (US Pacific) or 6pm (US Eastern).

In the modern age there has always been a fruitful interchange between the visual arts and popular culture. And it flowed both ways. Part of the joy of things is recognizing the influences and spotting the links. This course looks at over 40 examples where this has happened, involving everything from the world of cartoons, wallpaper design, video production and back.

Check out this, and all of our other humanities and language courses on offer this Term at earthdiverse.org.nz...

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
