Humanities 309 - Studies in the Humanities I

Institution:

Dickinson College

Subject:

Description:

The primary aim of 309 is to help students understand works of art as human statements that share certain formal principles and make manifest (in their differing ways) a variety of common values. The course explores not only those formal and aesthetic principles to which all the arts respond in various historical eras, but also those occasions when one art form influences another. A second major goal is to study the ways that literature, the fine arts, drama, and music might well be understood by considering the sensibilities of the creator within the socio-cultural influences of a particular epoch. The emphasis in this regard is on the ways in which the history and geography of London can help us appreciate the production, performance or displaying of the arts in a specific cultural context. This course will fulfill neither a distribution nor a major requirement. Prerequisite: acceptance into the Dickinson Humanities Program in England. Offered only in the Dickinson Humanities Program in England.
