| Abstract |
|
This article aims to develop a liberal education curriculum that converges humanities and arts. By humanities, we mean the linguistic literacy that enables to translate specific images to text. This curriculum is designed on the base of the visual semiotics, which has been developed with its interdisciplinary character.
The development of the curriculum has an important principle: how to help the student, the future civilized citizen, to enjoy the art work and enhance their artistic sensibility and creativity. So as to interpret and re-construct the meaning of the image, we proposed a methodological approach defined in art history and modified in visual semiotics, the iconological point of view.
Further, the curriculum aims to help students their linguistic literacy. We believe that enhancing the linguistic literacy, whether spoken or written, is the most important mission to which today s liberal education must concentrate its effort. To do so, the curriculum consists of several writings: on-line debate, and report on museum visit and subsequent report.
Since there are few curricula that comprise humanities and arts, we hope that will fulfil its role to be a successful convergence one not only in the local institution but nation wide liberal education field. |
