Description:

Moving Art: The Aesthetic of the Motion Picture 1922 - 1966: This course is both a survey and a research course which examines the advent of the film throughout the world as produced between 1922 and 1966. Students will explore the great strides in character development, plot construction, acting technique, scriptwriting, editing, use of light and shadow, and camera and lens technique, that, through the use of the artistic vision of numerous creators, have set our social stage during these developmental years. They will examine the commonly accepted definitions of beauty, art, value, mores, motivation, and behavior which have been influenced by the films of this era and are just a few of the attributes used to definite humanity. The study of film as an interdisciplinary art form, utilizing music, acting, directing, design, editing, dance, dramatic writing, and visual artistic involvement, will be used as a means of widening the vision of emerging interdisciplinary arts professionals.
