Course Description

Art Appreciation is a three-unit course that develops students’ ability to appreciate, analyze, and critique works of art. Through
interdisciplinary and multimodal approaches, this course equips students with a broad knowledge of the practical, historical, philosophical,
and social relevance of the arts in order to hone students’ ability to articulate their understanding of the arts.

The course also develops students’ competency in researching and curating art as well as conceptualizing, mounting, and evaluating art
productions.

The course aims to develop students’ genuine appreciation for Philippine arts by providing them opportunities to explore the diversity and
richness and their rootedness in Filipino culture.
