COMM 5069 THE SPANISH EXPERIENCE: SPANISH VISUAL CULTURE
Spanish Visual Culture is designed to introduce the student to the art, culture, and history of Spain. Inspired by the richness of Spanish art and culture, students will have the opportunity every day to reflect in their journals and experience energy that comes from participating in a foreign environment. Over the course of the semester, students will watch films and television, view advertisements, magazines, newspapers, and art, complete readings, participate in discussions, experience a week in Spain, and reflect and analyze the trip and materials upon return to Manhattanville. Each student will write a research paper on a topic of his/her choice about Spanish Mass Media. Trips will be taken to the major art museums and other culturally and architecturally rich sites in Barcelona and Madrid.
