Orientation Introduction

This is an introduction to the course and provides brief descriptions to the most common usable links. Each lesson will contain a brief description, objective, and instructions. The instructions will list what is to be achieved in the lesson. Please, carefully read the instructions.

As the title of this course suggests, we will explore the humanities by way of art, history and philosophy. We will explore of the purposes and processes in the written, visual and performing arts (such as music, painting, architecture, drama, poetry, literature, and dance) and the ways in which they express the values of cultures and human experience.

This course requires four basic understandings: reading, discussion, creating, and evaluating. We will discuss the extensive readings in detail. We will create a creative project that emulates the examples we review, and we will communicate and analyze concepts, using the terminology and concepts we read and learn.

*The challenges of this course stem from many aspects, but the main challenges derive from the creative process, working among the fog and mist, between black and white. When dealing with humanity, there is no black and white answers. Yes, there are wrong answers, but having an interpretive sensibility is a must. When processing and creating projects, for example, it will be in your hands to make choices based upon the examples and learned experiences. I will not be able to create these projects for you or tell you exactly how to create these projects; therefore, the choices you make should represent your creativity and originality and, perhaps, more importantly, emulate those you have studied and reviewed.
