Course Details
The on-ground fifteen-week sections of this course include a mandatory visit to the Carnegie Museum of Art and a attendance of one RMU Colonial Theatre production. This class will serve as an introduction to the fine arts as applied to Ireland, Northern Ireland, and the United Kingdom. We will explore the characteristics, style, classification, form, and content of art through critical analysis and relationship to historical events. The student will gain the tools necessary to evaluate art and will then be able to apply these tools, including a critical approach, to other areas and subjects outside of this course. It is the main objective of the course to aid in the development of the student?s ability to think critically. The trip takes place May 7-May 21, 2017. In addition to tuition, there will be study abroad costs for airfare, housing, etc. If you are interested in taking this course, contact the Center for Global Engagement at 412-397-6893 or email Rick Moslen at moslen@rmu.edu for more information about the study abroad travel arrangements and costs.

Course Description
This class will serve as an introduction to the arts focusing
primarily on the Western Cultural Tradition and will explore the
characteristics, style, classification, form, and content of art
through critical analysis and relationship to historical events. The student will be exposed to the arts, especially those which have established the foundation for the Western canon; however, it is the main objective of the course to aid in the development of the student?s ability to think critically. The student will gain the tools necessary to evaluate art and will then be able to apply these tools, including a critical approach, to other areas and subjects outside of this course.
