HI 215

In every age of human existence people have sought to express themselves using dance, drama, art, architecture, philosophy, music and literature. This course is aimed at giving students the opportunity to develop an understanding of how humankind has used those areas of self-expression sometimes referred to as the fine arts. The course is in no way intended to make the student an expert in any one area but rather is to serve as a sampler to the expressions, allowing the student to become more aware, more open-minded, and more sensitive in the areas mentioned. This course is also intended to allow students to begin to develop an aesthetic awareness and some skills in artistic discrimination. The end result of this course would be an individual who has a better understanding of society and of oneself. This course fulfills the Foreign Culture and Language General Education requirement.
