Description:

The arts as a unique and universal mode of communication, a legitimate point of view from which to address the nature of humanity, are explored. Painting, photography, sculpture, music, opera, dance, and architecture are discussed not only as separate disciplines, but as sources for common elements (line, texture, harmony, rhythm, etc.). How are these elements used in each specific discipline to communicate the artist's message? Students visit museums and attend live concert performances in addition to classroom lectures.
