  2. Values The Liberal Arts Program promotes the value of the interconnectedness of the studio and liberal arts. Goals The Liberal Arts Program’s goals include The introduction of interdisciplinary and liberal arts minors The promotion of interdisciplinary, cross-disciplinary and collaborative courses. Excerpt from 2002Liberal Arts Goals and Values

  3. Interdisciplinary Bridges between Liberal Arts and Studio Courses Topics in Liberal Arts Track Introduces courses taught from inter-, cross- and multi-disciplinary perspectives, exploring issues in: • Human cognition and creativity • Ethics and aesthetics • Contemporary culture and society

  4. Terminology • Interdisciplinary—applies methodology and language from more than one discipline to examine a central theme, issue, problem, topic or experience • Crossdisciplinary—viewing one discipline from the perspective of another; for example, the history of illustration, the mathematics of art, the physics of music • Multidisciplinary—the juxtaposition of several disciplines focused on one problem with no direct attempt to integrate • Transdisciplinary—establishing a common approach for a set of disciplines

  5. Interdisciplinary Topics Courses • Art and the Creative Process • Conceptual Drawing & Creativity in Conceptual Drawing • Popular Culture and Ethics & Satire and Popular Culture

  6. Art and the Creative ProcessMulti- and Interdisciplinary Opportunities This course uses the format of a single LA instructor with a series of Visiting Studio instructors • Liberal Arts: overview of the history and theories of creativity; psychology of the creative processes; problem-solving and creative practices. • Studio: Visiting artists from multiple disciplines share work and discuss the creative process as it applies to their work and discipline.

  7. Conceptual Drawing& Creativity in Conceptual Drawing This course was designed to be a learning community; a studio and liberal arts course were linked though having the same group of students in both classes. • Studio course: explores and develops individual concepts and problem-solving skills through experimentation with a variety of media and techniques; exploration of various materials, techniques and images. • Liberal Arts course: explores the process of creativity and critical thinking, and introduces a language to speak and write about these processes; makes use of work in multiple disciplines, including literature, mythology and film.

  8. Popular Culture and Ethics & Satire and Popular Culture • Liberal Arts topics: Students learn to think critically about ethical issues and integrate consideration of those issues into diverse subject areas in popular culture, such as the media, infotainment, commercials, film, literature, politics, satire, and consumerism. • Studio topics: Students explore the history of satirical thought in popular culture, and examine satire as genre and art form in political cartoons, theatre, film, television, and the Web.

  9. Developing an integrated curriculum involves more than simply creating a set of related materials, activities, and strategies. It involves developing understanding, the ability to generalize and conceptualize, and critical/creative/higher-order thinking skills in the students. Recognitions

  10. Question to Explore • How can we support an interdisciplinary approach to learning • that permits students to combine various academic concentrations into a degree program • where students are encouraged to explore multiple disciplines • and synthesize knowledge from different areas of concentration?
