HUP 107 — Philosophy of Art
This course explores the nature of art and theories of beauty, as well as the relationship of beauty to truth, morality, and social context. Using examples drawn from the visual arts, performing arts, film, and music, students will examine the origins, purpose, and meaning of art; the nature of the aesthetic experience; and the standards we use to judge artistic expression. Full use will be made of the rich artistic resources of New York City CUNY Pathways: Flexible Core-Creative Expression
