Philosophy 151AR - Ethics Lab: 'The Artist's Responsibility to the Audience'

In this course, we will focus on the artist's responsibilities to their audience. Art affects its audience in all kinds of ways, intended and otherwise: it can offend people, occupy attention and resources, instruct or misinform, and change people's views and attitudes. Art can be misunderstood and misused. Through the study of a variety of cases, in this course students will use some of the tools of ethical reasoning to analyze these problems and develop their own solutions.

This course is limited to Art Studio, Dance, Music, and FMT Majors.
