HUMN303 Introduction to the Humanities

Week 1 Discussion

DQ1The
Value of the Humanities

What is the
value of studying the humanities in a business or technical curriculum? How
might a topic such as ancient art enhance contemporary life?

DQ2 Ancient
Works of Art

Choose a
work of art from the reading in Chapter 1. Discuss how the work is a reflection
of the ancient culture that created it. Also, did anything particularly
surprise or impress you about the work of art or the ancient people who created
it?

Week 3 Discussion

Theater

This week,
we took a brief look at Shakespeare’s The Tempest (see the Assignments
section). This five-act play opens with a storm at sea (a tempest) and
throughout, Shakespeare has planted allusions to apparitions and magic, such as
the character Ariel who, at times, appears to be invisible to the other
characters. It is a given that the special effects, such as those often used in
films, to actually give the stage the appearance of a deadly tempest or
actually make Ariel an invisible presence are not achievable on the stage. To
fill in this gap, audiences suspend disbelief.

In this
thread, let’s discuss the power and limitations of theatrical imagination.
Please feel free to draw from productions you have seen. (The old high school
productions count, too!) Why are we willing to suspend disbelief when we see a
play, yet we demand so much more from a film production? Do you think that the
limitation on special effects and alternative demand on the audience member to
suspend disbelief is a weakness or a strength of the theatrical experience?
Would you rather see The Tempest on stage or in film? Why?

DQ1 Roots
of Revolution

Consider
the role of revolution in governmental structure and culture. Provide an
example from the reading for the week or your experience visiting the National
Archives to explain the relationship between philosophy and political action.

DQ2 Realism
and Impressionism

For this
week’s discussion, choose realism or impressionism as a basis for your posts
and discuss how your choice is manifested in any area of the humanities (i.e.,
painting, sculpture, literature, music, etc.), and give an example from any
discipline in the humanities to illustrate how realism or impressionism
influenced the work of art. Please be sure to give an analysis of how the work
of art was influenced by the movement.

In this
forum, post your inspiration piece for the Art Production and Presentation

your profession?

HUMN303 Introduction to the Humanities

Week 7 Discussion

DQ1 Controversial
Art and Censorship

Although
controversial art is not a topic exclusive to the 20th century, the
distribution of information regarding controversial art has increased with the
proliferation of media. Please discuss an example of a 20th century
controversial work of art from any discipline of the humanities (music,
literature, sculpture, film, etc.) and an accompanying statement from the
artist(s). Based on your example, to what extent does controversial art make a
social contribution? Are governments ever justified in censoring art?

DQ2 Pop Art

What were
some of the influences of the pop art phenomenon? Should we consider the
creative elements of popular culture, which are very often mass produced works
of art?

Week 8 Discussion

Looking
Ahead

After seven
weeks of uncovering various aspects of the humanities, the arts, the history,
the philosophy, and so on, we bring the conversation full circle. Discuss how
humanities may impact your life on a professional and personal level. Identify
specific moments in the course that helped you identify new or different ways
of evaluation and/or analysis. Locate an article about your field of study that
reflects the practice and understanding of the humanities and share that
research while explaining its connection and significance to the humanities.
