CIA 7071 - Aesthetics of Value II

Institution:

California Institute of Integral Studies

Subject:

Description:

Students will read widely in the field of Aesthetics (from Sappho and Plato to artists and aestheticians in the current artistic discourse) and critically reflect on art (as a cultural construct and a personal endeavor). Students will consider what ideas, principles, and preconceptions underlie the aesthetic values of certain writers and how these compare to their own values; and they will be able to communicate some aesthetic points of view through writing and presentations. Students will demonstrate through discussion and critical reflections an understanding of historical and contemporary issues in Aesthetics in ways that incorporate values of social use, spirituality, empathy, social change, beauty, and personal transformation, and will articulate the Aesthetic lens through which they view art.
