We will pay particular attention to ways in which he handled form, space, and structure to frame human activity and to create a modern American style. We will also explore the social implications of Wright's approach to domestic design and community planning.

This course provides background in basic principles of physical, analytical, and inorganic chemistry essential to the study of all chemical phenomena.

A survey of painting and sculpture, this course introduces students to the work of individual artists.
