WHY
There are many reasons for taking a course such as this,
but the objectives listed below are a good place to start to understand
the role of the Arts in our lives.
Objectives
There are four main objectives for
this course-
-
to become familiar with representative examples of the
Arts of the Western European tradition
-
to come to understand the necessity for the Arts, especially
in our world of rapid change
-
to master, to some degree, the style of thinking most
often applied to studying the Arts
-
to come to understand the Arts as a cultural practice
These objectives are not separate categories or ideas. Rather,
they interact with and influence each other; often you will not be sure
which one you are dealing with as you move through the course work. That's
ok, that's the way it's supposed to be. Whenever possible, identify where
the objectives seem to have influence on each other and comment on the
connections when making your postings to the Agora.
Now visit the HUM
210 Concept Map page for a visual layout of the objectives and how
they relate to the content and activities of the course. (These pages take
a while to load so be patient.)
