Sacred Geometry: Art, Cinema and Spirituality- Special Topic

Catalog description

This course will provide a comparative study of ancient cultures in their use of symbolism, geometry,art and cosmology to define reality. "All of life in its entirety," wrote Pier Paolo Pasolini, "is a natural, living film," and in this course students will explore a series of twelve "art films" to discern ways in which symbols derived from nature can function within a variety of spiritualities and belief systems. Course topics will provide symbolic representations of the structure of the universe, expressing the notion of reality as an organized and unfied whole.
