ARTS 210 Life Drawing 6 credits
Understanding the basic techniques of drawing the human form is fundamental to an art education and is the emphasis of this class.

PHIL 208 Improvisation: Acting and Thinking Collectively 6 credits
What if we don’t always think before we act, but let our movement, voice, and posture guide our thoughts? This class will perform improv theater exercises to explore how physical actions we perform collectively with others can influence our mental processes. To let experience take the lead, half of our meetings will be taught by a local improviser. The other half of our meetings will be devoted to reflection on and discussion of those experiences, paired with complementary readings.
