DEPARTMENT OF HUMANITIES NCSSM’s humanities courses challenge students to think critically and creatively; to expand their understanding of their own and other cultures; to be open to new ideas and ways of thinking; and to express their understanding in clear and effective writing and speech. Our courses in fine arts challenge students to grow both as performing artists and as audience members. Many of our courses reflect the department’s longstanding commitment to interdisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning. Our courses empower students to become the kind of leaders who have the flexibility of mind to think “outside the box” of discrete areas of knowledge, the keenness of vision to make connections, the confidence to challenge received wisdom, and the imagination, ingenuity, and energy to create original solutions to complex problems. Graduation Requirement in Humanities All junior students must complete the three-trimester, interdisciplinary AS303 Writing and American Studies or AS305 American Studies, or be exempt. All students must complete an additional two trimesters of core English credit. Students who exempt the American Studies requirement must complete four units of core English credit and at least two units of history or social science. Students must also complete study of a world language through the intermediate level or higher at NCSSM, or be exempt. COURSE OFFERINGS: Art AR302 Art Applications One trimester Credit: One unit additional elective credit. Meeting pattern: Three periods per week. This course exposes students to four valuable art skills in one trimester. Drawing in pencil and pen and ink introduces students to concepts of right brain stimulation, seeing and analyzing reality, and interpreting reality by using abstract expression to respond to their personal feelings. All sections of the course begin with this foundation and then proceed to a varying sequence of other skills: screen-printing, photography, ceramics, or other media as determined by the instructor. Repeatable for credit. AR304 Ceramics One trimester Credit: One unit additional elective credit. Meeting pattern: Three periods per week. 9
