HON-347:Paris Before the Great War - An Exploration of Modernism in Art & Literature
4 credit hours (1 academic unit)
Liberal Learning: "Literary, Visual and Performing Arts"
This course explores the cultural and artistic crosscurrents in paris from 1890 - 1914 and their relationship to and role in the birth of modernism. Through a dual focus on art and literature - the work, its history, theory and criticism - students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the actual context pf Paris and the rich physical, social, aesthetic and philisophical milieu of the period from Belle Epoque to the outbreak of World War I.
Designed as an interdisciplinary Honors course, Paris Before the Great War is open to any major. It provides an enriched learning experience for students of art, literature, art history, history and philosophy as well as focused exposure to arts and humanities for students outside theses disciplines.
300-Level Designation: The course has been given a 300 level designation because it is intended to provide a total immersion experience that is limited in scope but intense and in-depth. The students will be challenged to complete their assignments and present reports under a variety of unfamiliar conditions, all the while adjusting to a new culture and language.
This 3-week course will be taught in and around the city of Paris. The program will combine classroom time with site visits to monuments, museums, and art collections. Students will also partake in 3 one-day excursions to Fontainbleau/Vaux-le-Vicomte, Chartres/Giverny and Versailles.
Students can expect to be engaged in course and trip-related activities almost every day of the program. It will be an exciting and academically demanding learning experience, but also one that will engage and challenge the students on many levels as well as encourage exploration of the city around them.
Students will be traveling with ACCENT, an international education organization that works with over 50 American colleges and universities to provide high quality study abroad programs. ACCENT students come from all over the U.S. and represent a wide range of ages, education levels and academic interests.
