Course Description

Giants of the Arts will examine a select group of artists who, through the test of time, have been recognized as true masters; whose works advanced their art form(s), who became a significant influence within their field(s), and who continue to influence contemporary artists today.  Students will examine how these artists used the components of their art form(s), why these artists are considered “great,” what their greatest contributions are to our society, and how these artists affect our artists today.  Students will also consider the qualities of “masterful” creative endeavors.  Students will examine how myth, morality and other themes are expressed in the arts.  With this foundation, students will then be challenged to immerse themselves intellectually and emotionally in the arts, express how the art affects them, and contemplate how the artists’ gifts to our world improve and deepen our lives.
