2014-2015 Academic Catalog [ARCHIVED CATALOG]

ARTS 101 - Myth & Symbol

Explores individual ideas of “The Sacred” and, how peoples of the world express the sublime with the creation of altars, shrines, ritual and ceremony. Using a variety of mediums, 2-D, 3-D and mixed media, students are encouraged to expand material usage and think outside studio walls where body and earth are also canvases. Myth, symbol, story, archetype, dream imagery, sacred sound and ritual are pathways to creation. Students step out of a typical experience of studio practice and into a soul directed approach to art making where the rich, inner landscape is a wellspring of source material. Fulfills the Aesthetic Perspective requirement.

Anticipated Terms Offered: Offered periodically
