ARTH 267 Gardens in China and Japan 6 credits
A garden is usually defined as a piece of land that is cultivated or manipulated in some way by man for one or more purposes. Gardens often take the form of an aestheticized space that miniaturizes the natural landscape. This course will explore the historical phenomenon of garden building in China and Japan with a special emphasis on how cultural and religious attitudes towards nature contribute to the development of gardens in urban and suburban environments. In addition to studying historical source material, students will be required to apply their knowledge by building both virtual and physical re-creations of gardens.

ENGL 267 Studies in Description 6 credits
Why do we describe things? Why do writers put so much care into their descriptions of objects and inner states? What authority do they draw from precise descriptive language? What is an “exactly perceived” detail? How do phrases carry sensory information? This class explores the power of description in capturing perceptions and making pictures of the world more felt. To understand the range of technical strategies involved in description, we will read and imitate the acute sensory visions of Basho, Issa, Hopkins, Rilke, and a range of American poets. Each week the reading will be a springboard for written exercises.

MUSC 218 Improvisation: A Living History 6 credits
Jon Batiste told Forbes in 2019: “I think that you have to open your mind to really be comfortable improvising. It really starts in the mind.” We’ll embrace this mind-music connection by thinking flexibly and critically about improvisation in American music, and by improvising musically ourselves. Readings and discussion will engage Black studies, performance studies, gender studies, philosophy, and political theory. And we’ll build our creative practice with your instruments and voices. Throughout, we’ll keep alive to the ethics of improvisation and the term’s multiplicity of meanings, which call out for your interpretation. Expected preparation: participation in a music ensemble, registration in music lessons, or facility on a musical instrument (Western or non-Western) including voice
