Class Details

As a continuation of French 103, this course “Images vivantes dans les arts et la littérature” is primarily conceived to enable students to express themselves with fluency and to comprehend easily the spoken and written language. The course is based on the concept that one can read images in any art form (portraits, landscapes, etc…) and pair them with passages taken from French fiction or poetry, comparing them, exploring their meaning, developing a wide range of vocabulary. How does Maupassant’s prose compare to a landscape painted by Corot, for instance? Students will read creatively and in depth, express their ideas orally and in writing, and listen to interviews of artists and writers and if applicable extend the art form to film. As for grammar, we will build on what you already know through an in-depth advanced review of grammar structures.Conducted in French.
