Credits:3 credits Prerequisites:LCOR-111 or LCOR-112 Course Chair:C. Colatosti Required of:None Electable by:All Offered:Spring Description This course explores the lives and works of great black musical artists. Through a view into the music and the lives of these artists and of certain meanings, themes, artists' intent, and experiences, we gain insight into some very specific historical, cultural, and social windows. We will view black musicians' work that cuts across the entire musical/artistic spectrum, giving us perspective into the development of the various musical genres, styles, and movements that make up American music, from blues to rock and roll and song classics to American art/classical music. Studying the lives of these greats allows an insider's look into extraordinary career development and industry business practices. In an artistry shaped and forged by racial and social "outcasting" comes a very unique kind of narrative, sound, perspective, and insight, which is inextricably bound to hearing, understanding, and appreciating this unique American artistry. Note: This course may be taken in lieu of either LCOR-211, LCOR-212, LCOR-221, or LCOR-222.

Credits:3 credits Prerequisites:LCOR-111 or LCOR-112 Course Chair:C. Colatosti Required of:None Electable by:All Offered:Spring, Summer, Fall Description Specific course Descriptions for each course are available at the Office of the Registrar, the Liberal Arts Department, and online at: http://classes.berklee.edu/libarts/courses. The various sections of Art History Topics focus on different and more narrowly defined themes, rather than a broad historical survey. Topics may include the Art of Egypt, the meeting of Eastern and Western Art, Twentieth-Century American and European Art, and others. Periodically, a visiting scholar may teach a section on the art, architecture, and archeology of cultures such as those of pre-Columbian Central and South America, the indigenous peoples of North America, the various societies of Africa, Asia, or the Middle East. The focus of these special sections would include the material artifacts and the interpretations, debates, and methodological approaches to these objects within the literature of the field. All sections of this course present individual topics. Note: This course may be taken in lieu of either LCOR-231 or LCOR-232.
