FDED 221 - Celebrating Humanity: Aesthetic Experience and Education in Global Perspective
Semester Hours: 3
Once a Year
This course examines the role of the several arts and aesthetics experience in
the lives and learning of children and adults across the globe. Opportunities
are provided for students to focus an in-depth exploration of cultures drawn from
two areas of the world: North Africa, Sub-Sahara Africa, South-East Asia, the
Indian sub-continent, Asia and the Pacific Rim, the Middle East, Eastern Europe,
Central Europe, Western Europe, Mexico and Latin America, the Caribbean Islands,
or Canada and Alaska. Materials are drawn from educational theory, aesthetic theory,
and the history of the arts, culinary history, cultural anthropology, and social
psychology. Students are required to visit museums and galleries and attend musical,
theatrical, and dance performances. Participation does not presume either prior
study in the history of the arts or in cross-cultural anthropology, although both
are desirable.
