COURSE DESCRIPTION

This survey course explores the evolution of western and non-western key ideas in art, music, and literature from the 15th to21st century societies. Emphasis is placed on the comparisonand contrast of social, economic, religious, and political forcesin the arts in a variety of cultures and diverse people.

Metropolitan Museum of Art Trip-Saturday, April 28, 2012THE TRIP IS OPTIONALI offer this trip because I believe it is important for students toexperience live art. Often, a reproduction of an artwork in a textbookor on a slide does not give the student an accurate perception of the

color, depth of field, or dimensions of an artwork. When a studentexperiences live art, it creates the opportunity for him or her toengage with an artwork through sensory and intellectualperceptions. Thus, this experience is a direct and personal interactionbetween the object and the viewer. It can be a very exciting andrewarding experience. So, please join us, if you can.The cost of the trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art is $22.00per student and per guest round trip bus fare only. The priceincludes a $1.50 service charge. Students can purchase theirtickets at the SCCC Performing Arts Center Box Office or online

at the SCCC website at: www.sussex.edu. Click on the icon forperforming arts box office on the SCCC home page. Tickets aresold on a first come, first served basis. So, if you are planningon joining us that day, please purchase your tickets early thebuses tend to fill up quickly. The seats are not numbered, if youare bringing a friend or a family member you can certainly sitwith each other. We leave from the Sussex County CommunityCollege campus, E-Building parking lot at 9:00 am and return at5:00 pm. You will need to be on campus for the bus at 8:45 am.
