History of Styles (3 credits)
This historical course is taught on campus as a requirement for many theatre majors.
In London, will be taught using the resources of Europe (art,
architecture, etc) as examples.
From Millikin University 2006
Course Bulletin: History of Style: Antiquity Through
Modern. An exploration of
periodicity through examination of stylistic elements from Egyptian
through current day. Styles of art, architecture, dance, theatre, music,
etc. will be examined in an effort to give students a strong sense of
the commonalties as well as the differences in the various art of the
periods. Trends in philosophy, religion, commerce, etc. will be studied
for their effect upon artistic form.
Notes the instructor, Jana Henry, "The
History of Styles course isn't at all about theatre. It's about
history. What makes a "period" a "period". From Egypt to Art Deco, why
we group ideas and styles together into a movement. Theatre in this
course doesn't have any more importance than fine art, architecture,
music, fashion, etc. "
