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.
