【Course Objectives】

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

1) what art and fine arts mean to people and to us* and what they give people and us*,
*People and us mean both individual human beings and an important member of society and social groups.
2) what society, social groups, and individual people expect arts and fine arts to do,
3) what we can bring about to societies with arts, works of art, and art-related activities.

【Course Contents】

Arts and fine arts and its value are generally considered universal and invariable. (Perhaps, this is the most distinctive difference between fashion and arts/fine arts!) 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 and necessarily the same. Likewise, the roles and functions of arts and fine arts are not the same.

Arts and fine arts have a long history since ancient times. In that long history, in modern times, arts and artworks have attracted a wider audience, making even general people feel closer to artworks in their daily lives. During this modern process, people’s understanding of arts/fine arts has enhanced, and the roles, functions, and values of artwork have become diverse. Why?

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

Students will:
- research, look into, 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).
