Institution:

University of Wisconsin-River Falls

Subject:

Description:

One aspect of the course is to investigate philosophical problems, such as: What is art? What makes an artwork "good"? Can artworks be condemned on moral grounds, such as, that they are pornographic or decadent? The other aspect is to examine the artworks themselves, and study some major art movements in history. No philosophical issue will be studied without also illustrating it by or applying it to representative artworks and art movements. (F)
