THE ART OF ART APPRECIATION

In this course, we'll enjoy UNH's cultural riches. Theater, music, dance, architecture, film, visual art, and writing--all are easy to access right here on campus. This course will meet weekly to learn and talk about the art around us. We will hear from people who create art about both the creative and the practical aspects of their work. We will think about why we find some things beautiful and pleasing, others boring and ugly. And we'll address the perennial question of art appreciators everywhere: why does it cost so much? Students will be expected to attend multiple art events with the class or individually; tickets will be covered by the Honors College. 

This course meets once a week and is graded Pass/Fail. It does not fulfill a Discovery requirement. It earns 2 credits and 2 Honors Units.
