This course explores how painting, sculpture, literature, poetry, oratory, music, film, philosophy, religion, and media express cultural values across the globe. Through in-depth study of significant works, students will examine the complexities of the human spirit and the creative and communicative power of culture. Using thematic and genre-based modules, the course engages diverse texts, artifacts, media, and local resources. Students will cultivate an informed understanding of what constitutes “art” and build the skills to analyze, interpret, and write about artistic expression critically.
