Course description and aims
Art and Design are often confused although those two disciplines have quite different roles and functions. Especially, along with the diversification of media, business, and conditions of working, the boundary between art and design are becoming more and more ambiguous.
However, it is not the objective of this class to distinguish between art and design. It is more significant to learn a variety of Art and Design projects that are created with different intentions and think about what they communicate. By being exposed to those various cases, I hope students will learn how to express themselves, and get a better idea of a way of living.
Student learning outcomes
At the end of this course, students will be able to:
1) Explain the concept of Art and Design with their own words.
2) Learn different uses of Art and Design depending on purposes.
3) Obtain critical interpretation of expressions.
4) Acquire the competence to express and convey views and debate effectively.
