THR 190 - Foundations of the Creative Arts

1 course unit

Students will investigate the basic aesthetic concepts in visual arts, music, dance, and drama. They will examine the arts as a way of perceiving the world, reflecting and challenging cultural norms, and expressing new ideas. By exploring and experiencing the fundamental skills used in the creative process, students will discover their own connection to the arts as a means of personal expression. Through a primarily studio experience, students will have the opportunity to engage a variety of art forms as part of the process of learning an aesthetic language. This objective will be achieved most effectively as students actively work in and through multiple artistic perspectives. Open to teacher certification candidates only.
Meets general academic requirement A or AR.
