Humanities

Fulfills the English requirement for graduation and the UC/CSU English requirement.

Humanities, in its purest form, is the study of the arts. Humanities is a single-semester English class which examines the arts from around the world. We will look at literature from Shakespeare, to Chinua Achebe, Africa’s most celebrated writer. We will study artists from Michelangelo, to Salvador Dali, and musicians/composers from Beethoven and Bach, to Buddy Holly and Nirvana. We will also spend some time looking at influential film makers.
