About this course
This course is a cross-cultural, interdisciplinary introduction to aesthetics - theories about what art is, its functions and value, and the ways we experience it. The course examines historical and contemporary views on visual and performing arts. Explores distinctions between "fine" and popular art, and varieties of deviant or shocking art. The primary focus will be on the visual arts and how they enrich our lives.
