114300-12128500Spring 2020 First Year Seminars What’s in the Cards? FYPO 100-01 (#2789)The Tarot is a centuries-old set of archetypal representations used to understand the past, evaluate the present, and (at times) predict the future. By turns associated with the devil, paganism, goddess worship, and witchcraft, these cards can nonetheless be a powerful tool for understanding both ourselves and the culture around us. This class will take you on a journey of self-discovery by exploring what the cards are meant to represent and what they can mean to each of us. At the same time that you are learning about the historical, psychological, and cultural meanings embedded in the representative art of various Tarot decks, you will begin exploring yourself and your surroundings here on campus. In a final creative project, students will be asked to develop their own Tarot card using the medium of their choice. There are two sections of this seminar being offered (each meets at different times). Students may select either one if they are interested in this topic.
