The enduring relevance of the humanities is that they encourage us to consider a number of “big ideas.” What
is culture? How do we go about studying it? What
is the relationship between cultural artifacts and the culture in which they are created? Between artists and the
creators of cultural artifacts and the things they
create? How is human meaning generated through cultural creations? We humans seem driven to express and
create in our search to understand and be
understood.
In Project 2:, you will use the ideas you have studied throughout the course in addition to the insights you have
gained from your deep thinking about your
chosen artifact to discuss why humans are driven to express themselves in so many ways. You will draw
conclusions about the reciprocal relationship between
forms of expression and the context in which they are created and experienced.
