SMC One: The Donovan Seminar: Visual Art and Meaning

What is the relationship between visual art and the search for meaning? How do we learn to stop and see and interpret? Focusing on the renowned art collections on the grounds and campus of St Mike's and UofT, this course explores the diverse ways in which artists have engaged with their world, with history, and with spiritual and philosophical questions. Students also explore the equally diverse ways in which viewers bring their own engagement with these questions into interpretations of painting, sculpture, and photography. Not eligible for CR/NCR option.
