AS101 Aesthetics: Intro to Storytelling Overview
Beginnings is the first step in understanding the vital importance of story to humans, to our culture, and to how humans make and use art. From the beginning of our time on earth, humans have created stories to explain a chaotic universe to themselves, to explain their own impulses, to entertain, enlighten, teach, and to explore humanity’s inner emotions. We are who we are and our civilizations are as they are as much due to story as to anything else. Everything we create starts, centers itself, and ends with story. Understanding these underpinnings helps everyone working in the arts and creating content to know how and as importantly why to create content in ways recognized and appreciated by audiences.
The class uses various examples illustrating major concepts in an atmosphere of mutual discovery and discussion to arrive at general and personal understanding of art and story.
