US 250 Exploring Art in Philadelphia

Exploring Art in Philadelphia is a class that utilizes integrative learning to investigate the variety of artistic venues available in Philadelphia and surrounding region. This sophomore level seminar course meets twice a week: once a week on the Arcadia Glenside campus and once a week at the scheduled arts venue in the Philadelphia/ Glenside area. The meetings on campus introduce, explore and investigate the organizing principles governing Art and Design, explore content and concept in contemporary art and practice that students will experience at venues off campus. Student presentations and focused art projects will illustrate specific ideas we will see in class.

Exploring Art in Philadelphia serves as a way for students to connect what they are learning in the classroom to the variety of venues and experiences in the cultural artistic landscape around them. The course offers a working definition, through varied examples, of the artistic zeitgeist in the Philadelphia region.
