This writing course will examine how the artist's experience of society's demands and rewards affects his attitudes toward his fellow men, his work and himself. In appraising the readings for the course, students will be encouraged to combine intuition and analysis in class discussion and writing. Further inspiration for writing assignments will come from students' experiences creating art and visiting an art museum. In this class, we will challenge those assumptions by examining social, historical and psychological influences on love. Class time will be devoted primarily to discussion although some lectures will be conducted to acquaint students with the more difficult aspects of theory.
Modern dance is a representation of ideas and emotions.
Choreographers use this art form to express various philosophical aspects of life. In this course, students will study the ways that choreographers communicate. Furthermore, class members will translate the insights they have gained from personal experience into their own dance movements. This course will enable students to appreciate more than the physical aspects of dance. Students will be encouraged to tap their personal sense of creativity and therefore, integrate art into their thinking lives.
