This course fulfills areas of General Education Requirement in Aesthetic, Cultural Diversity, Historical Studies and Humanities. Although class discussion is strongly encouraged, this is primarily a lecture course based upon the visual content of works of art presented by way of projected slides. Attendance is highly recommended for every class meeting. Because of the complexity of the readings for this course, students are strongly encouraged to do the readings ahead of time. When specific readings are assigned students are required to be prepared on that material for class discussion.
Students are responsible for the content of all lectures and assigned reading materials.
The course will focus especially on the interrelationships between Theater and the Visual Arts, such as literature, film, video, art history and music history in the acquisition and development of critical and visual literacy skills. Students are not permitted to tape the lectures. Disable students must see me on the first day of class to accommodate their individual needs. Examinations are based on specific material covered in class and on the required readings. Examinations missed without prior excuse from me or written excuse for medical or other emergencies, cannot be made up.
