About the Course: 

This course explores how to appreciate art through understanding the lives of the artists. Artists seek in some way to connect art to our lives. People often had difficulty understanding artwork because of the lack of contextual flows and socio-cultural background. Both creating and viewing art can provide us means of stating or affirming our personal and collective feelings, thoughts, ideals, and attitudes while we learn values of philosophical ideas and connecting themes through artistic means and experiences. The presence of arts and culture overwhelmingly affects respondents’ sense of well-being and satisfaction, their attachment to a place, and their sense of community.
