AUCA 150 -- Ethnic Roots and Urban Arts

Ethnic Roots and Urban Arts seeks to broaden students' knowledge of the diversity and richness of the artistic contributions of ethnic groups which have shaped the dynamics of the urban community. Students will acquire a reference base of selected ethnic arts including visual arts, music, drama, language and literature, dance, and folkways, as well as their critical, historical, and sociological contexts.

This course focuses on the arts of African American and Puerto Rican peoples and exposes students to the ethnic arts resources in the Greater Hartford area. Additionally, the course is designed to cultivate a pluralistic and inclusive view of the arts and to foster an overall appreciation of artistic values of other cultures.
