Foundations: Arts and Humanities

Good art should allow us to:
  • develop empathetic capacity.
  • observe patterns inside and outside our culture.
  • discover and interpret areas of universality in our human experience.
  • learn to understand and interpret other points of view.
  • develop critical capacities and aesthetics.
