Context Module Sub HeaderIn the first seminar we'll spend some time getting to know one another and going over the course and any questions you have. Then I'll use examples to introduce the idea of art's "epistemic activity" and four types or modes of art that's active in this way. Then we'll talk about the reading and its relation to the topics of the class.Score at least Must score at least to complete this module item Scored at least Module item has been completed by scoring at least View Must view in order to complete this module item Viewed Module item has been viewed and is complete Mark done Must mark this module item done in order to complete Marked done Module item marked as done and is complete Contribute Must contribute to this module item to complete it Contributed Contributed to this module item and is complete Submit Must submit this module item to complete it Submitted Module item submitted and is complete
