Ramapo College of New Jersey

Subject:

Description:

A study of art productions as an aid in understanding human experience. The course examines the projective window that expressive art affords into personality and behavior, and the value of art in enhancing quality of life. Through analysis of original artwork from Dr. Peck's collection, and using slides and reproductions, a spectrum of art productions is examined; examples include children's art in normal developmental stages; the art of psychiatric patients, incarcerated inmates, youth who have been physically and/or sexually abused, Holocaust victims, and families in upheaval. The course includes readings and hands-on projects to provide for increased understanding of individual and family problems. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Undergraduate Schedule Types: Lecture Contemporary Arts College Art Department Course Attributes: CA-School Core-300 Level, GE TOPICS SOCIAL SCIENCE
