Modern and Contemporary Art and Design Specialization by The Museum of Modern Art

This Specialization will teach you about contemporary art. You'll journey behind the scenes to examine artworks up close and into studios to hear directly from artists, designers, curators, and others through unique films and audio. Anyone interested in learning more about modern and contemporary art should enroll in this Specialization. There are no prerequisites. Enroll to receive invites to virtual events, exclusive access to MoMA resources, and the opportunity to discuss ideas with a global learner community.

Start with Modern Art & Ideas to study how artists have responded to social challenges and drew inspiration from their surroundings throughout the last 150 years. Then, dig into Seeing Through Photographs, which examines photography from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century to the present day. By introducing ideas, methodologies, and technology that inform the creation of images, this course bridges the gap between seeing and fully understanding them.

What Is Contemporary Art? Exploring works created since 1980. The works in this course range from 3-D–printed glass and fiber sculptures to factory performances, and they introduce you to the different materials, motivations, and methods used by artists today. Complete the Fashion as Design Specialization and look into your fashion choices in terms of expression, sustainability, labor methods, identity, and more. Learn from designers who work with clothes on a daily basis—and, in some cases, are redefining it for the future.
