Art history discussion
We begin this course considering cave paintings from the
Paleolithic Period as a prehistoric form of art. You will watch the
film, “The Day the Pictures were Born” for your first assignment.
The film discusses early humans’ desire to record the visions in
their heads that result from altered states of consciousness. Let’s
extend this idea to think about ways we get out of our “here and
now” mundane day-to-day material existence and ESCAPE into a
daydream, movie, song, dance, physical activity, artwork, video
game, nature, etc.
WHEN YOU WANT TO ESCAPE FROM REALITY FOR A LITTLE WHILE, WHAT DO YOU DO AND HOW DOES IT ALTER YOUR MINDSET? Feel free to post an image reflecting your form of escapism.
