Description
IC205 Experiencing the Arts 3 credits
Through the use of an interdisciplinary approach, this course explores the ways the arts
express intellectual, emotional, spiritual, and social concerns. It examines what makes the
arts an essential part of our human experience and explores the relationships among artists,
audiences, and the cultural forces that influence both. Students attend performances, exhibitions
and presentations both on and off campus, study the basic principles and practices
of the arts and create an interdisciplinary arts project. Prerequisites: completion of
IC101,IC105, IC106 or permission of Core Curriculum Administrator and sophomore class standing.
