This is a non-chronological course that introduces the humanities, primarily architecture, music, painting, poetry, sculpture, theatre, and film. It emphasizes identifying, appreciating, analyzing, interpreting, and understanding various significant arts and how they have shaped our understanding of the world.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- identify the key components of various genres of art (painting, sculpture, architecture, music, drama etc.).
- analyze a work of art, including its components, structure, message, meaning, and function.
- compare and contrast two or more works of art of the same genre.
- examine two or more works of art from different genres in order to understand their commonalities and differences of historical context, form, message, and meaning.
- identify historically significant and enduring works of art (e.g. arts created by Ansel Adams, Ludwig Van Beethoven, Artemisia Gentileschi, Maya Lin, Mexican muralists, Michelangelo, Toni Morrison, Andy Warhol, Walt Whitman, Ai Weiwei).
