LH 305 - Literature and the Arts

Institution:

Saint Mary's University of Minnesota

Subject:

Description:

4 credits Art: it is as natural to us as it is mysterious. It is as inspiring as it is commonplace. But what is art exactly? What do we make of it? What do we learn by creating art? By studying a diverse array of works of art-from poetry to the symphony, from painting to the novel-this course attempts toanswer these and similar questions about the process and products we call art. Students learn to identify, explain, and appreciate an array of monumental artistic achievements, and why these works are considered substantial contributions to our cultural heritage. They also discuss how artistic expression affects or reflects our understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live. The course includes student creation of works of art in tutorial sessions.
