FINE-102 Arts, Cultures and Ideas

Arts, Cultures and Ideas is an interdisciplinary course whose purpose is to introduce to the student how the humanities and their arts address ways of thinking about what is human about our diverse histories and cultures, imaginations, values, words, and dreams. The approach of the course is to root cultural achievements in their historical settings, showing how the political, social, and economic events of each period influence their creation. The course will focus on at least three of the following areas of the humanities appropriate to the period of history and the specific culture being studied: architecture, criticism, dance, ethics, film, literature, music, painting, philosophy, photography, religion, sculpture, and theatre. Historical periods that will be a part of this course as it changes focus and individual cultures to be studied within these periods will be determined each semester.
