Street art—including graffiti, murals, and other installations in public space—provides expressive avenues for marginalized voices, shapes urban space, and promotes competing visions of community development. In contrast to art that is created for museums or the commercial art market, street art is uniquely positioned to engage with social issues from a critical perspective. This class will involve an analysis of street art projects from the United States, situated in comparison with projects from around the world. Topics to explored include the history of street art over time (from its origins in graffiti to contemporary mural festivals); the impetus for street art in communities in the USA and globally; models for creating, preserving, and presenting street art; the institutionalization of street art; street art as it relates to diversity and inclusion; and, ultimately, the potential for street art to play a role in social change.

This course surveys historical and contemporary art forms of Oceania, a region that includes Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia. Sculpture, painting, architecture, and body arts will be explored in relation to gender roles, identity, repatriation, and Western influence. Students will learn how material culture, along with the concepts of mana and tapu, sustained highly stratified cultures in places such as Hawaii and New Zealand. We will also study egalitarian societies in which a balanced relationship is maintained with natural environments through daily practices and spiritual beliefs. Students will work with objects from the American Museum of Asmat Art at the University of St. Thomas (AMAA@UST). Films and other digital resources will be used to illustrate how Pacific cultures have changed over time.

Building Communication Skills through Improvisation II is the second of the two-course sequence that introduces you to the world of applied improvisation. It is a cutting-edge course designed to help you continue building on the communication skills acquired and developed in COMM 246: Building Communication Skills through Improvisation. Unlike its predecessor, COMM 248:Building Communication Skills through Improvisation II is tailored more specifically for the professional world, training students to use improvisation as a tool for human communication, business, and organizational development. It uses different readings, higher-level assignments, and more complex improvisational techniques while maintaining its core focus on teamwork, creative problem-solving, oral communication, nonverbal communication, audience analysis, clarity, and adaptability.

This course introduces students to the craft of creative writing, focusing on three broad genres: poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction. Students learn how various forms (e.g., free verse, the sonnet, narrative) have developed and evolved historically and within various contexts (cultural, political, social)—and by extension, what it means to write in these forms today. They receive instruction in setting, character, voice, point of view, literal and figurative imagery, rhythm and sound patterns, and literary structures; and practice writing in all three genres. Assignments include close readings of literary texts that model craft techniques, weekly writing exercises that encourage exploration and development of craft, and workshop discussions to develop students’ analytic and critical skills. For English majors, it fulfills the Genre Study requirement. Prerequisites: ENGL 120, ENGL 121, or ENGL 190

This course is designed to introduce students to the filmmaking process, from script to screen. We will concentrate our attention on two main elements - understanding the technical concerns of narrative filmmaking (the apparatuses, learning camera functions and techniques, and using editing software), AND developing students' artistic voice through storytelling and film analysis. The course aims to strengthen students' ability to conceive and flesh out ideas that will lead to compelling, authentic, personally meaningful short films and give them the critical foundation of film study and production tools to execute their ideas. Students will begin to develop their own artistic vision and style through filmmaking. Prerequisite DIMA 240 Digital Imagery and Sound.

Open to all students, this class introduces those with diverse levels of musical background to the elements of music theory and listening skills. No musical training is necessary for participation – all levels of musical abilities are welcome. Two priorities will guide our activities: (1) drawing on musical practices from multiple social and cultural contexts in both familiar and unfamiliar styles; (2) learning via direct experience. This course offers real-life practice of skills to help students develop their understanding of how music works and how it moves us, particularly regarding the interaction between music elements (e.g. rhythm, melody, harmony, and form) with emotion, meaning, and performance.

This course traces the development of American popular music from its roots through multiple genres such as minstrelsy, jazz, big band, swing, crooning, jump blues, gospel, rhythm and blues, country, western, folk/protest, and rock 'n' roll, concluding with the British Invasion. Popular music development is critically examined through four interrelated driving forces: identity (ethnicity, gender, culture, generation), centers vs. peripheries (the established vs. the innovative ), technology (impact on musical performance and listening), and business/law (commercial competition and development). Multimedia presentations include extensive audio and video support. Designed for the Popular Music minor.

Why do we laugh when bad things happen to good people and what makes scary movies surprisingly funny to us? Most cultural traditions around the globe have long identified both music and humor as supremely human activities, profoundly tied to language, community, and social living. In this class we will look at and listen to movies, asking not only what makes them funny (or scary, or both) but also examining how music and sound articulate the unexpected comedic effects of horror films. Through weekly engagement with images and sounds from all over the world, we will explore the ability of humor not only to challenge boundaries of social and cultural conventions but also redefine our relationships with fear, uncertainty, and with things beyond our knowledge. We will provide the theoretical perspective to film, e.g., the language filmmakers use to create meaning, --through editing, cinematography, acting, screenplay--coupled with examining key characteristics of music, and the concept of sound as an “interpretation” and an “effect.” While arguing that film comedy emerges from a particular time, culture, and for a specific audience, we will investigate how humor--and, by extension, comedic sensibilities--is a vital life skill that can deepen our understanding of cultural complexities and play an instrumental role in forming social bonds in the contemporary world.
