Notes

【Course Objectives】

This course examines the relations between people, society and culture, and fine arts/art by exploring various aspects, functions, and roles of artworks, art-related activities, and artists in the modern world.
Some questions are:
1) what do fine arts/art mean to us?
2) what do society/ies, social groups, and individual people expect fine arts/art to do?
3) what can we bring about to societies with fine arts/art, works of art, and art-related activities?

【Course Contents】

People sometimes consider fine arts/art in this modern world and their value as universal and invariable. Although it is a somewhat dubious and debatable statement, perhaps this is the most distinctive demarcation line drawn between fine arts/art and fashion! However, reasons and social contexts in which fine arts/art are born and based vary: How we see, think, and feel about art and artworks are not always and necessarily the same. Likewise, the roles and functions of fine arts/art are not the same.

Fine arts/art have a history as long as that of human beings. In that long line of the story, it is in modern times that fine arts/art and artworks have come to attract a wider audience, making them feel closer to artworks in their daily lives. During this modern process, people’s understanding of fine arts/art has enhanced and changed, while roles, functions, and value of artwork have become diverse.

By taking examples from stories relating to fine arts/art and artists and works of art, chiefly from the modern world, the course examines phenomena and social environments where fine arts/art play/ed significant roles. Through these examinations, the course questions (and seeks answers) why people and society create, appreciate and support (or do not support particular) cultural assets called 'fine arts/art'.

Students will:
- research and discuss the given topics in/out of class.
- write comments and thoughts about the topics and share them in class.
- give presentations twice (one individually and another in groups).
- write the essay twice (mid-term and final. Both individually).

* There will be a field trip to an art museum.
