Course Description
This course studies the aesthetic, artistic and
intellectual similarities between art history
and music history. Discussion of the arts
focuses on the development in examining the
human creativity and expression through the
arts: from ancient times as 'art and morality'
followed in the Renaissance as 'art and
sciences' continued in the
Enlightenment as 'art and society' contrasted
in the nineteenth century as 'art and
entertainment.' Furthermore, this course
surveys some of the fundamental aspects of
music and art, such as
the nature of aesthetic judgment, the task of
art and music criticism, including formalist,
representational, and contemporary theories on
viewing, analyzing, and interpreting the arts.
In
addition, with a comparative analysis between
the modes of visual and aura representation,
visual and aura perception, this course
analyzes the principal forms and genres of the
visual and aural
elements of art history and music history,
providing an understanding for human creativity
and expression.
