FAQ:

1. What will I learn?
- The course is designed to satisfy several study needs. One of them is to enrich student knowledge of such topics as European and Russian art transformation of the beginning of the 21st century, visual art and modernity, musical theater history, art management, theater and fashion, unique international collaboration of great artists in Les Ballets Russes. It is also designed to inspire critical thinking and art reflection. Students are encouraged to actively perceive art, express their thoughts and ideas, describe the impact of art pieces they see throughout the course in several ways: participate in open discussions in the classroom, present their input on the live board, compose essays and work on final group project. Finally, it serves the goal of shaping future art and music critics, artists, authors, journalists, art managers and other professionals by providing rich case study material, space for reflection and self-expression, sources of creative activities and inspiration.

2. What are the classes like?
- Each lesson will provide students with portions of historical and theoretical background of each topic (you hear about art). The majority of lessons, if not every single one of them, will consists of large portions of unique video and audio material, because art cannot be expressed in other people words and descriptions (you experience art). It will always have sufficient time slots for public discussion (you talk about art). Self-study outside of classroom will consist of sources-research and essay-writing experience with one final group project presentation in the end of the semester (you practice art).

3. Do I have to attend all the lectures?
- Each lecture represents a very particular topic and consists of large amount of information, as well as unique input from other students. Therefore it is advisable that students attend all the lectures, and it is compulsory that students attend at very least 11 lectures out of 13. In case of urgent issues, illness, or clash of schedules, students will be requested to compensate their absence by an extra essay. 

4. How do I get my 3 credits in the end of the course?
- Provided that the student has no issues with attendance, two essays (guided essays is optional) and one group project must be delivered by the end of the semester. Presentation of group projects will take place instead of the exam.Link to live board:
