HON 394: Art, Writing, and the Act of Creation Professor Eric
Susser, 3 credits Tuesdays: 4:40 7:30 pm, Course number: 85539
Course description: The aim of this course is to develop your
personal as well as your critical relationship to art, aesthetics
and the art of creation. To do this, we must negotiate between
understanding art as esoteric artifacts housed in museums (the
temples of art) and art as subjective expressions of creativity,
where anything produced could be called art and anything goes. Each
week we will read and discuss a theoretical text or texts about
contemporary culture and art and discuss it in class; we will have
local artists come speak as guest lecturers; we will research and
give class presentations on a 20th or 21st century artist, movement
or artistic period; we will attend at least one local cultural
event each week and write structured and focused critical journal
responses; we will contribute to Blackboard, sharing with the class
what we attended and why.
