In this course students will examine the arts as a way of perceiving the world, reflecting and challenging cultural norms, and expressing and learning new ideas. Through a primarily studio experience, students will have an opportunity to engage in a variety of art forms (the visual arts, movement, music, and drama) as part of the process of learning an aesthetic language. Recent advances in the field of neuroscience, psychology, education, and cultural studies help to illuminate both theory and practice.
