| Course Description: |
This humanities course covers a broad spectrum of human culture. The study of humanities covers various modes of expression, including governments, religions, artistic endeavors, musical genres, and literary works. Studying humanities involves examining how these components and others in human society create, define, and reflect the human culture contextually in both history and geography. It is certainly impossible to cover everything related to the vast academic study of the humanities, so this course will focus on key works of art, music, literature and so on as “landmarks.” This humanities course moves through content chronologically, from the first civilizations to the modern day. Students will interpret works of art, recall specific information, and apply concepts all throughout their participation in the course. The ongoing theme of the overall course is to consider, analyze and evaluate the relationship between human expression and societal culture.
| Course Objectives: |
