When you look out the window do you see a tree or the rhythmic sway of dark line and bright color? Do you see a field of grass or waves of innumerable
greens? This course will encourage you to see the world through the eyes of an artist by focusing on the natural world. To achieve this we will examine a
variety of formats including poetry, the personal essay, painting, and photography in relation to key aesthetic concepts such as the sublime, the beautiful,
and the picturesque. We will juxtapose contemporary writers and artists with those from earlier periods to demonstrate how the way we see the world is
culturally determined. We will complement our readings with trips to nearby museums (IMA), galleries, and the studios of local artists. In addition, we will
take advantage of such local natural resources as the grounds of the IMA, the canal walk, and Holcomb Gardens, where you will find the raw material for your
own reflection and creative expression.

The arts are a fundamental expression of the human condition and as such, a key element in developing an understanding of cultures. This course provides
both an historical overview of music and its development within Western civilization as well as an exploration of what gives music its meaning and emotional
charge. Students will examine and discuss music from a variety of historical periods; attend live performances; participate in written exercises and class
activities relating music to the socio-cultural environment in which it was created; investigate the lives and ideas of leading composers and artists; and
engage in creative projects.
