	OBJT 101 Object/Environment 3 credits 90.0 hours 100 level undergraduate course In this course, students use three-dimensional and digital media to explore issues of object and environment. Ideas of found, fabricated and virtual objects are addressed through the lenses of art, film and design. Inquiry-based research aids students in developing project content, an awareness of cultural and historical contexts, and the ability to analyze their art-making methods and the works of artists, designers and filmmakers. The development of common technical skills, critical skills and a conceptual vocabulary provide a framework for future study. Students apply research to their processes and evaluate their work through writing and critique.

Students also examine various artistic canons, both western and non-western. The expressive body addresses the figure as a signifier of the human condition. Students explore its visual presence or absence, reconsider the mind-body question, and contemplate or situate the body in space. Projects incorporate movement, gesture and posture.

	PHIL 210 The Quest for True Self in the Arts 3 credits 45.0 hours 200 level undergraduate course This course explores the attempts of the artist to achieve true or authentic selfhood through art. The point of departure is the contention that true self is not simply given with existence but must be won, and can be lost.

The struggle of the artist to grapple with this contradiction in some of its fundamental forms will be the focus of the course. Among the issues to be explored are: whether artistic creation, even at the highest level, is able to mitigate or resolve the inherent estrangement of the self; the conflict between the need for solitude in order to create and the consequent loneliness that many artist experience; the intrusion of love and domestic demands on artistic creativity; the question of whether ethical values or aesthetic values take precedence when the two conflict; and the struggle for the true selfhood in circumstances of political oppression or tyranny.
