Expanded Course Description
| The visual world is filled with structure and meanings. This course is an introduction to the many facets involved in human experience of the visual world, from cars and sunsets to the "Mona Lisa." Visual experience involves the qualities of what is seen (materials, colors, arrangements--all the aspects of design), everything that the individual brings to the experience (body, senses, emotions, beliefs,knowledge, biases--the many aspects of being human), and the context in which experience takes place (influences of other people, histories,environments, institutions--the many aspects of our physical and cultural world). In this course students will explore the interactions of these elements of experience, and how they come together in creating interpretations and forming judgments about the visual world.
From the time we are newborns to the last moment we look out on the world, we are involved in rich and ever-evolving relationships with everything we see. This course draws upon the cultural matrix of ideas and practices associated with the arts to develop a broader understanding of the visual world and our interactions with the innumerable things we see.
AAD 251 has no prerequisites. The class examines a variety of perspectives on the question of "art" and the roles it may play in our lives.
