Visits to theatres, concerts, and galleries are an integral component of the course. Art Process is a prerequisite for the other courses in the Integrated Arts Program. These courses build on students' knowledge of the arts in their separateness, by focusing on the particular kind of perceiving and knowing that can be acquired through doing and studying a single art form. To this latter end, a number of eligible courses apply sociology, philosophy, aesthetics, or rhetoric to the subject of art. Two additional 300-level courses serve as capstones to the program.
Students work as an ensemble to create a presentation.
Toward a Theory of the Arts provides a period of reflection and analytical expansion following the creative collaboration of the previous course. The minor in Integrated Arts requires seven courses. While it is possible to satisfy the requirements of the program in seven quarters, the time needed by individual students will vary depending upon the requirements of the individual s school and major. Therefore, students are advised to begin their work in the program no later than the sophomore year. All students minoring in Integrated Arts take 190 Art Process, which is offered yearly in the winter quarter.
