Humanities
Division
Welcome
What, exactly, are the humanities? Keep
wondering. "Wonder" is the key. Inside
"humanities," you see the word "human," so
there's a clue. A quick definition, then, of
"humanities" would go something like:
fields
of learning that
explore human creativity and communication.
A study of the
humanities invites you to open your perceptions,
to investigate human expression, to develop an
appreciation for Rococo art and rock-and-roll,
Shakespeare and Speilberg, Ella Fitzgerald and
F. Scott Fitzgerald, French language and the
French Impressionists, George Orwell and Georgia
O'Keefe, Alice Walker and T-Bone Walker, Beowulf
and Virginia Woolf. The list goes on. But
there's more to the humanities than famous names
in creativity. At Shoreline Community College
you can create: sing, paint, write, speak,
sculpt, act, compose, dance.
To perceive, to
experience, to understand, to create—that's what
the humanities encourage and enable us to do.
People who teach in the Humanities Division at
SCC would say that we become more human by
drawing a portrait, or by going deep into the
poetry of Emily Dickinson, or by exploring the
ingenious structure of a Mozart symphony. In
other words, when we learn about the humanities,
we learn what we humans have made, what we're
capable of making. We learn to see and
experience our lives differently. We learn who
we are.
The Humanities Division oversees a wide variety of
programs, both university transfer and
professional-technical, including English, art, music and more. We
are located in the FOSS Building 5000, on the
3rd floor, (206) 546-4770. If you have an
interest in our programs, please stop by Room
5327 for more
information or see your advisor in the
Counseling Office in FOSS.
