America's Artistic Legacy
by Professor Carol Reynolds Creator
This two-semester online course will take you on a journey through America’s history, art, music, literature, and culture. From the Puritans and Native Americans; through the founders and pioneers; to the immigrants of Ellis Island and today’s newest immigrants, Americans have used music, paintings, poetry, dance and architecture to express the essence of life in America. This course features dozens of colorful video sequences filmed by Professor Carol on location across the country. Each of the 24 course modules includes approximately 1 hour of video instruction with quizzes and an "assignment” unit in each module. The assignments mainly provide extensive materials for the student to study the topics in greater depth. The course spans the period from Native Americans and the earliest European Settlers through Jazz and Broadway.
