Aesthetics are those disciplines that concern the artistic and creative expression of humankind as a way of knowing, experiencing and viewing the world. Courses may include traditional visual and performing arts as well as film and architecture. Examples may include various courses in music, dance, theater and film, philosophy and/or history of art, and related studies.
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of issues related to the arts in one or more forms: visual arts, theatre, music, dance, film, and others.
- Students will be able to articulate, verbally and in writing, their artistic preferences. They will demonstrate an ability to critique the arts and specific arts events by backing up their positions with concrete artistic evidence and concepts specific to the art form being discussed.
For example, from ideas presented in class meetings and from their own experience of artistic events, students will write a critical reflection paper on a particular form of artistic expression.
- Students will demonstrate an understanding of the historical and social context surrounding the arts.
For example, students will complete a project demonstrating the influence of the French impressionistic movement on music and/or art.
