COURSE DESCRIPTION: (The Bulletin): LASC #6 - 3 credits. An introductory, chronological examination of the Arts, focusing on representative works of Humanity's creative traditions in terms of historical, literary, and other cultural developments as well as European and American parallels/influences.
COURSE OVERVIEW: This course, in its historical segments, intends to encourage us all to journey with our intellects and imaginations across Time and Space in order to appreciate Humankind's millennia-old, richly-varied cultural legacy - from Prehistory, advancing through the Ancient World into the Middle Ages, then the Renaissance and Reformation, the Enlightenment, ending with Modernism in several areas of creative endeavor. Specific to our Fall 2017 Syllabus, we will journey from 1800 to 1900 in the USA and across the globe. We shall examine, in varying degrees, how peace and prosperity, as well as war and social issues (poverty, human rights, ...), influenced themes in Literature and movements in the Arts including Music. As we reader-travelers pursue our "most excellent adventure" (Bill and Ted), we will enjoy, and benefit from, Prof. Fiero's richly-illustrated book of Art-works, inviting us to undertake a most rewarding adventure with OUR intellectual curiosity. We will read selections from notable Literary Works in such genres as poems, novels, plays, essays.
COURSE OBJECTIVES - Student Learning Outcomes:
Students completing this course = LASC #6 credit - The Humanities: Arts, Literature, Philosophy/Religion. In our Lecture/Discussion class-format, we will examine humanistic issues mainly reflected in high cultural (that is, literary and artistic) developments in their socio-historical contexts from the Past and relate it all to our Present. And so, students will gain, or deepen, their Knowledge in the Humanities: historical, literary, and artistic, as well as geographical and political, knowledge attained and approached through a variety of media - the printed word, art-reproductions, and films (documentaries, Hollywood movies, ...) AND their Appreciation of the Arts: as an introductory survey-course, acknowledged major Art-works (painting, sculpture, architecture) are examined 1) as mirrors of their socio-historical context, including such cultural value-systems as religion, and 2) as expressions of the range & depth of ingenuity & creativity.
LASC #6: The HUMANITIES - Arts, Literature, and Philosophy: The Principal GOALS of LASC #6
are to expand students' knowledge of the human condition and human cultures, especially in relation to behavior, ideas, and values expressed in works of the creative imagination and thought. Through study in discipline-areas such as Literature, Philosophy, and the Visual and Performing Arts, students will learn to place human expression in cultural, intellectual, and historical contexts. So, our course intends to encourage MSUM students to develop certain intellectual Competencies. These are: 1. TO demonstrate, in writing and/or discussion, awareness of the scope and variety of works in the Arts and/or Humanities. 2. TO explain how those works are expressions of individual and human values reflective of historical and social contexts. 3. TO analyze and/or critically evaluate works of human imagination and thought in discussion and/or writing. 4. TO articulate an informed personal reaction to works in the Arts and/or Humanities. 5. TO present (= express) informed aesthetic (= Arts&Lit-related) appreciative and evaluative judgments.
REQUIREMENTS: Mindful Reading-preparation of the assigned pages as in the Syllabus. Contributory vocal-participation through class-discussion is happily welcomed and strongly encouraged by me, your eager Prof! And ALWAYS bring your assigned-reading books to class = your "musical score" for our M-W-F concerts-in-class - myself as conductor & you as the orchestra members!
Faithful Attendance: Absence is excused ONLY for a good (= justified) reason, such as illness, being out-of-town for MSUM sports, serious family matters, or a critical circumstance beyond your control. Please communicate with me either beforehand or when you return - send me an e-mail or a phone-message - so as to avoid an UNexcused absence. Thus, any valid absence is always excusable, but only with an honest, if brief, acknowledgement. Otherwise, 3 or more UNexcused absences will lead to a lowering of the final letter-grade either in part (say, from B+ to B or to B-) or in whole (from a B to a C), depending upon the number of absences. So, just come regularly to class, be a diligent reader and committed class-participant. And if ever absent, a simple, straightforward acknowledgement will suffice. Honesty is the only policy.
- 3 EXAMS @ 100/100/200 pts.: 3 non-cumulative EXAMS dated in the Syllabus below - the exam-format will quite likely include short essay-style questions (with choices), fill-in-the-blanks, matching columns, typed Essay, ... - format presented beforehand. In the exams, the questions will focus on selected art-works, literary pieces, and significant historical figures and fictionalized characters such as Abe Lincoln and Huck Finn, writers and artists (= poets, painters, sculptors), political and religious leaders. And the exams will only be given on the dates indicated in the Syllabus below. Before each exam, I will hand out, and put on my web-page, selected Items for Review, with Review-Pages in our books precisely indicated. Thus, the exam-questions will derive ONLY from the selected items/passages in the Review-Pages. And I will offer helpful comments on the exam-format before the 3 exams in our RETROSPECTIVE class-sessions for reviewing. The Looking Ahead and Looking Back sections of each Chapter in THT will be useful in this regard. I will remind you - in class and via a class-email - as to date & format/contents with a link to my WebPage.
- 4 TYPED double-spaced half-to-1 page Reader's Reflections = RR @ 50 pts. on FRI 9/1 FRI 10/6 FRI 11/3 MON 11/20. You bring them to class for me to collect RIGHT AFTER we all have had our vocal say, going around the entire class as everybody will briefly state what she/he has written.
- 1 TYPED Reader/Viewer's Reflection-Response ESSAY of 3 pages (minimum = a solid 2 1/2) @ 100 points on a topic of your own choice as defined by you in connection with EITHER our THT text OR ChD's ACC, OR R. Freedman's LPB. For ex., do a compare&contrast essay between LPB and Spielberg's splendid movie LINCOLN - or THE MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL.
R/V'sR-R ESSAY-GUIDELINES will be handed out in class & also put on my WebPage. Submissions to me, your Prof, will be arranged alphabetically by last-name and staggered throughout the semester beginning in WEEK IV due on Friday 9/15, with (6 or 4 or 2) students handing in to me their Essays 10 times over 10 WEEKS. Names&Dates Schedule is with the Essay-Guidelines.
- Generally speaking, HOW will you write your College-Worthy Essay? You will compose your thoughts/ideas into a logical sequence of paragraphs formed of complete sentences expressed with correct spelling and punctuation. Points subtracted for lack of attention to standard English grammatical, college-level expectations. So, PROOFREAD!!! And use the spell-check before you submit your composition. Your Essay will have both Objective and Subjective parts as explained in the Guidelines.
-- Thus, a total points-potential of 700 points - with the final letter-grade based upon the # of points attained out of the points-potential and proportioned on the basis of 100 points using + & - signs. So, for ex., A+ = 100-98, A = 97-94, A- = 93-90, B+ = 89-87, B = 86-83, B- = 82-80. I will use decimals, then round it all out at the end of the semester. No "curving" of grades.
-- Needless to say, diligent reading in preparation for class will guarantee your grade-success and, more importantly, your intellectual advancement and personal gratification - all of which will enrich your self-study.
