Introduction: Welcome to Art Appreciation. This is a distance learning course devoted to the study of art,
both historical and modern. Why is art important? Art is another means of helping people see and
better understand the dynamics of our world and how human consciousness impacts it at every
level. The world is open to integration and interpretation more than ever before and the effect that
art has on us as individuals and as a society is now reaching beyond the borders of any given culture. Mass communication – via television, the Internet, and cinema, along with cultural syncretism and networking between nations and even continents, has enabled us as human beings to
see beyond ourselves and our own boundaries. This class will enable you to view images from around the world and in a context beyond the
text book. It is designed to intrigue, inspire and engage you in the possibilities through the study
of symbolism, multi-cultural perspectives and the many layers of meaning within the visual dialog.

Integrity Policy: Student Conduct and Academic Integrity as defined in the MJC Student Code
of Conduct will be upheld. The integrity policy follows: "The grading of a student’s work rests on the fundamental idea that an instructor is evaluating a
student’s own work, so cheating or plagiarism demonstrates a failure to complete this most basic
requirement of any course. Thus a faculty member may administer academic consequences for
violating the Academic Integrity Policy ranging from partial or no credit on an exam or assignment to an F in the course. The instructor may also consider that a student’s violation of academic integrity should be a
consideration for disciplinary measures, such as suspension or removal from the course or the
college." Instructor Contact Information- If you have questions or concerns My office is room #124 Office Phone - 575-6075 WEBSITE: https://deborah-brayman.squarespace
