Arts, Exper, & Knowledge-Impli

Credit:  3 hours.


Course will provide introduction to aesthetic theories, in particular romantic, modern and post-modern theories of art. We will examine concepts like cognition and affect and their role in the arts, in experience, and in education. In discussions of the implications of aesthetic theories to education, we will draw on case-studies using qualitative research methodology to portray curriculum. Requirement will include weekly readings, the writing of papers and reflective journals, and visits to the Krannert Art Museum and Krannert Performance Center, where we will apply theory to our personal and shared experiences of art.
