A Little Work, Mostly Play

Catalog description

A Little Work, Mostly Play is part of the Creative Explorations Learning Community (LC) that includes GLBC 1200 Creativity, Play, Productivity and EDEX 1500 Webster 101. EDEX 1530 will provide students with a foundational experience that focuses on how the arts profoundly shape and influence their world. Focus will be on visual art, music, theatrical performances, and performance art. Students will pull back the curtain to go behind the scenes and gain insights into the creative process as well as interact with artists and performers for a glimpse into the creative mind. Venturing beyond campus, students will discover a rich array of St. Louis art events. Emphasis will be on expanding awareness, enhancing understanding, and refining interpretive skills to comprehend significance and meaning in the arts. Students will engage with content via in-depth discussion of ideas and opinions, written reflections, oral presentations, attending theatrical performances and art happenings, and an integrated LC project-based activity that extends beyond the classroom. NOTE: Students will be expected to attend five evening events during the semester. GCP Coding: (ARTS) (CRI)
