【Course Objectives】

By exploring diverse aspects and functions of artworks and art-related activities in the modern world, the class examines:

1) what arts and fine arts mean to us and give us as both individual human beings and a part of society,
2) what society expects arts and fine arts to do,
3) what we can bring about to societies by using arts and works of art.

【Course Contents】

Unlike fashion, (fine) art and its value are generally considered universal and invariable. Nevertheless, the reasons and social contexts where arts and fine arts are based vary: How we see, think, and feel about arts and artworks are not always the same.

Fine arts have a long history since ancient times, and in its long history, it is in modern times that artworks have attracted a much wider audience, making general people feel closer to artworks in their lives. During this modern process, people’s understanding of (fine) arts has enhanced, and the roles and the value of works of art have become diverse.

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

Students will:
- investigate and discuss the given topics in and out of class.
- write their comments and thoughts about the topics. Some of them will be shared in class.
- give presentations twice (one individually and the other in groups).
- write 2 essays during the course (mid-term and final. Both will be done individually).

*A day trip to museums or art galleries will be planned.
* There will be a guest speaker during the course (TBC).
