I offer a variety of courses analyzing the development of the arts in Latin America through the frameworks of native, popular, and academic expressions. Besides the classic introduction to the History of Western Art, I also teach an overview of the Native Arts of the Americas from pre-history to today’s artistic manifestations of the peoples of North, Central and South Americas. My upper-level courses concentrate on the Iberian Baroque influences in the American, European Baroque and Western History of Architecture. I also offer seminars on Contemporary Latin American Art, Women and Art, Franciscan and Jesuit Missions in the New World, Popular Sacred Art of Latin America, and Art Criticism. I encourage my students to pursue their own interests and, whenever possible, I organize field trips to expand the field of study.
