Media Aesthetics
Prerequisites: None

Students will explore media aesthetic variable - light and color, space, time and motion, and sound - involved in the production of media messages under contextuallistic aesthetic perspectives (Sewey, Pepper and Aett1). The systematic examination of these fundamental aesthetic elements will provide students with an understanding about the importance of evaluating art within its historical and cultural contexts. Special attention will be given to film and video as art as they use the same aesthetic elements as all other art forms. In addition, students will be introduced to basic aesthetic theories and approaches and their principal adherents: objective (Plato and Aristotle), subjective (Hume), and realism and formalism theories.
