Discipline Representative: J. Hoogstraten (416-287-7173)

Art history, arts management, drama, music, and studio together constitute Visual and Performing Arts. Recognizing that much artistic work crosses the boundaries traditionally seen as separating one art form from another, Visual and Performing Arts invites exploration of the links and commonalities among the arts, in addition to providing opportunities for study in individual art areas.

All students will benefit greatly by going to the College's many plays, concerts, exhibitions and other arts events, and should also consider participating actively in, for instance, the series of choir and band courses and the public productions at the Leigha Lee Browne Theatre. Please contact the UTSC Cultural Affairs office (416-287-7076) or the VPA Discipline Representative.

Visual and Performing Arts

SPECIALIST PROGRAM IN ART AND CULTURE (B.A.)

Supervisor: J. Hoogstraten (416-287-7173)

This program provides training in the visual and performing arts in a university setting, both for students who want a conceptual and historical knowledge of the arts and the inter-relationships among them, and for those who wish primarily to develop their practical abilities. The program is a basis for careers or further study for future practitioners in the arts, for gallery and museum professionals, for academics, and for those who want a thorough knowledge of history, theory and practice in the arts.

The core courses give a basic knowledge of music, visual art and drama, as well as opportunities to develop writing and computing skills and to explore arts concepts and theories. Beyond this core, options range from concentration in one area to work across all the arts. All students in the program are expected to take advantage of the opportunities that exist on this campus to participate in arts events and clubs, as spectators and members and, where appropriate, as artists.

Students following the Drama, Multi-Disciplinary, Music and Studio streams of this Program should consult the Major and Minor Programs in these areas for instructions concerning the required courses in Performance and Studio.
