Fall 2020: Voicing Ideas in the Age of COVID-19Art & Design Since 1945
How might the angles and nuances of art historical argument adapt to an aural medium? In speaking our research, how can we assemble, deconstruct, or undo established histories of museum objects? Katie Anania, assistant professor of art history at the University of Nebraska, invited students in AHIS 446/846 “Art & Design Since 1945” to explore these questions during the 2020 fall semester through the creation of podcasts. For these podcasts, students were asked to develop a question about a work of art or design, propose a hypothesis, and answer that question.
The final assignment for the course was to create a podcast exploring an original argument stemming from one or more works in Sheldon’s collection. Research for these podcasts took an exploratory cast, as students used texts, archives, and databases that could be accessed remotely due to COVID-19 restrictions. Students were invited to record using any conversational style they liked, provided that the argument presented was sound, well-researched, and had scholarly merit. All podcasts focus on at least one work of art or design and discuss a total of three to five artworks. The students used software such as Audacity, Garage Band, or Voice Notes and organized their own music and thematic content.
