HUM 101: Introduction to Humanities
Learn about where you come from! Understand the world you live in now by studying the development of our culture and aesthetic values. Why do we think some things are beautiful, and others are ugly? This course broadens the students’ perception of an appreciation for the humanities by exploring the contribution of the arts to the individual and to society. Emphasis is given to modern developments in such areas as the visual, performing, literary, and environmental arts. Concepts basic to a systematic understanding of the humanities in relation to everyday life are examined through a variety of media and aesthetic experiences. This course is being re-recorded during the Spring Semester of 2018. Lectures follow the course textbook: Fiero. The Humanistic Tradition. 7th edition (Two Volumes) ISBN 1259360660 ISBN 1259351688 The podcasts are to be a supplement to in class participation. Learners outside of HACC can purchase the textbook and follow along with the class. Please send any suggestions or comments to robb.bomboy@gmail.com.
