PRTR 61Seminar in Arts

2 creditsUndergraduateStudent Option

Theoretical and historical aspects of the arts from one culture or world area are explored through seminar discussion, library research, and film/video presentations.

  • The course will explore the current state of documentary media: production, exhibition, context, culture, significance, and possibility. In addition to our core curriculum of viewing, reading and writing about documentary, the course will have a practical component. Students will help to stage the symposium and will be able to meet the artists/scholars whose work we will be screening, throughout the quarter and at the symposium itself. Availability to attend the entire symposium event [May 14-17] is a course requirement.

From RateMyProfessors, which is student-submitted and not a survey. Small review counts move a long way on one bad quarter.
