AI 252 - Sport/ Art: Americn Culture

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

What is art in today's America What purpose does it serve The art world can be unfathomable. Sport, conversely, is all around us. We can observe, participate and criticize at a variety of different levels and types of sport. Sport has almost universal appeal, one of the few activities to achieve recognition across ethnic, economic, religious and lifestyle barriers. In this course, we will examine the purposes, delivery systems, and impact of both sports and art on our lives. Discussions will center around the aesthetic aspects of sports, the history of art and its relationship to our societal needs, and the connections, if any, between these two institutions. Special emphasis will be given to winter sports in this one-competence course. Pre-'99 Competencies: AL-1, AL-C, HC-A. BA'99 Competencies: A-1-A-4, A-1-D, H-2-A. Faculty: Betta LoSardo
