GS 222 - The Spanish Eyes: Contributions of Hispanic Culture to World Art

(4 S.H.)

This course has as its main purpose to serve as an introduction to the Spanish canonical masters in the fine arts of the 20th and 21st centuries. The purpose of this course is two-fold: 1. Through discussion of their work and its relevance in the construction of Hispanic identity, students will expand their knowledge of Hispanic culture and the aesthetic values that underpins it. 2. Through study in disciplines such as literature, poetry, painting, film, music and architecture students will engage in critical analysis, form aesthetic judgments, and learn how individual creativity can also reflect both Hispanic culture and the human condition as a whole. As the title of the course suggests, the idea is to present these artists as contributors to the tendencies in world fine arts through a particular cultural point of view, one deeply rooted in the values of Hispanic culture. Grade only. Offered annually.
