MUS/THE 499P
This course will focus on the relationship between the arts and culture. Students will engage in how art is frequently a reflection of, reaction to, restatement of, or a challenge to culture of its era. Exploring the political, historical, sociological, psychological and philosophical forces behind the artist studied will allow students to engage in the ongoing dialogue between culture and the arts. At each travel location, students will attend at least one musical, theatrical, dance, and visual/architectural event to experience and discover first hand this relationship.
