The course will examine the advent of the musical theater in the United States, Great Britain and the movies. The inclusion of such an interdisciplinary art form, utilizing music, drama, visual and dance-based artistic involvement as a vehicle in the Fine Arts, Language Arts and Social Studies classroom for the delivery of curriculum cannot be too strongly advocated. The use of Cooperative Learning techniques, Multiple Intelligences and Alternative Assessment through the creative process provides conceptual frameworks for student growth and development. Audio and video examples of the genre will be used. Readings will be engaged-in and discussed. Group-level projects designed to share like-minded experiences will be continually pursued.

We live in a culture of images. In this course students will be immersed in a process of in-depth examination of the meaning and power of images. Images, in fact, are never neutral; their effect is that of conditioning the observer. It is important, therefore, to carry out a scholarly analysis of what an image actually is. Image based thinking will be considered both in relation to the creative process and to problem solving. We will begin with the philosophical concept of an idea as a mental representation. We will study the symbology of dreams in order to understand the close relationship between images and the unconscious. The psychoanalytical proposition that a film may be considered the film director¿s dream will be closely scrutinized. Students will study cinematherapy: a new technique for analyzing films and psychological dynamics. The concept of cinematherapy is rooted in the awareness that the film viewer is conditioned by his or her individual life experience, and this in turn makes the viewer¿s perception highly unique. The viewer¿s intimate interior world and life experiences condition perception of the film, and result in a highly subjective interpretation. This is due to the fact that the viewer assimilates only certain images and edits out others, all on the basis of unique individual experiences. The study of cinematherapy will enable the viewer to understand the underlying causes of certain emotions experienced during a film, and will shed light on certain aspects of one¿s own personality and on how others view the same situation.

Cinematherapy II: Personal and Social Awareness Through Cinema: This course focuses on the analysis of mythology through International cinema. The course will expand on topics and concepts presented in Cinematherapy I: Images With a Purpose. Students will examine in depth the differences between Freud and Jung's psychological perspectives on symbolic dream interpretation, as well as the concept of the collective unconscious and its archetypes which appear in Junglan theory. This will enable students to utilize their comprehension of the symbolic language of dreams in order to conceptualize the personal mythology theory of Dr. Stephen Larsen. Through the analysis of selected films, students will examine six major mythological themes which recur across cultures, demonstrating that cinema functions as society's modern day mythology as identified by Dr. Joseph Campbell. The goal of this course is to give students an understanding of similarities between personal and soclo- cultural mythology by using cinema as a tool for psychological examination and social comprehension, enabling them to become more effective educatiors and artists as well as more globally.

The International Arts and Culture Infusion Course has two components: the study of a unique interdisciplinary arts education methodology and the study of European Culture through field trips and on-site experience in and around the beautiful coastal village of Oskarshamn, Sweden. This course runs parallel to a Lovewell Cultural Exchange Workshop for Swedish and American teenagers being offered in the same location. Students will live and take their meals alongside the Lovewell staff, Swedish artists (in music, theatre, dance and design) and teenage artists enrolled in the Lovewell Program. Graduate students will participate in cultural field experiences such as informative tours of Axel Petersson's sculpture museum, the Kalmar Castle, local concerts and pre-Viking ruins on an island near Oskarshamn. Graduate students will also learn about the Lovewell Method. This methodology not only trains students in professional creative, conceptual and performing arts skills, it develops higher levels of social, organizational and motivational skills. Students interface with artists from Sweden and America and the artistic staff of a Lovewell Workshop in progress as they follow the development of the creative process through the opening night of an original bi-lingual interdisciplinary production as it is presented to the Swedish community. This experiential approach to a common goal project creates a fertile learning environment and an educational opportunity that stimulates many learning styles, especially in this highly aesthetic international setting. This course facilitates expansive and creative thinking in students, artists, teachers, schools and ultimately ripples out helping to create a true international cultural community. It also provides an unforgettable European adventure.
