performance basics, plus critical thinking and writing skills are central to the course. The course is aimed primarily at people who are or will become patrons of the theatre and wish to deepen their knowledge. Student rates are available for the productions students are required to attend. Note: Not open to theatre majors. FA/THEA1520 3.0 Acting for Non-Majors. Students will receive an introduction to the following concepts: breath/alignment/basic voice work, brief physical warm-up, group work, and improvisation; and the following technique concepts: trusting impulses, objectives, tactics, obstacles, analysis and exploration of monologues and journal writing. Plus two rehearsal hours per week. Note: Not open to Theatre majors. FA/VISA1005 6.0 Understanding Digital Art. This course is a basic introduction for non-Visual Arts majors to digital practices in contemporary art. It does not constitute a prerequisite for further New Media courses. It is offered on-line, combining exhibition and event visits with Web-based materials and assignments, and monitored chat discussions. An area of contemporary visual art that has its own history, social context, and technical strategies is open to students with no background, but who are interested in investigating some of the significance of the digital revolution. Students become familiar with digital photography, digital video/audio, installation, interactive art works, and art on the Web. On-line lectures and readings investigate a broad spectrum of computing issues applicable to visual culture, as well as the unique characteristics of digital art. Specific hours in the week are designated for on-line discussion time. Note: Not open to Visual Arts Majors. FA/VISA1110 6.0 Introduction to Western Art. Fundamentals of western art history, visual analysis and selected cultural and philosophical themes in the development of human expression in the arts. The emphasis is on the chronological and thematic development of western European and some North American art with a view to assessing and understanding the history of artistic creativity and its many manifestations. Prerequisite: None. Note: Limited space available. FA/VISA1120 6.0 Introduction to Visual Culture. What do images mean? Why do they matter? This course explores the ways that visual images work. Visual culture is a complex cultural phenomenon affecting how meaning is visually produced, coded and consumed in public art, media, museums, advertising. The course provides an overview of recent and historical approaches to visual culture. It considers various media, contexts and periods. The course introduces students to the study of visual culture in such arenas as film and video, photography, painting and sculpture, the built environment, advertising and fashion, or contemporary arenas such as video games and the Internet. Visual Culture involves the development of a critical framework for the understanding and discussion of those aspects of culture and society which involve any type of visual media The student will learn how to analyze visual media, interpret meanings, and gain experience in applying critical concepts to these understandings. Note: Open to non-majors. Faculty of Science and Engineering Note: All Faculty of Science and Engineering courses have specific prerequisites which must be met prior to enrolment. There is limited space available to non-majors in Faculty of Science and Engineering courses. SC/BIOL1410 6.0 Principles and Processes in Biology.
