This course material delves into the appreciation of both natural and man-made aesthetic phenomena, aiming to develop a discerning eye for the artistic qualities present in architecture, sculpture, natural landmarks, and other art forms.

Objectives:

  • Appreciate the aesthetic qualities of natural and man-made aesthetic phenomena in the Nigerian environment: Through this course, students will learn to recognize and admire the beauty and artistic merit inherent in structures like the National Theatre in Lagos, the Aso Rock in Abuja, or the natural wonder of Erin Ijesha Waterfall in Osun State. By exploring these examples, students will gain a deeper appreciation for the diverse artistic expressions that enrich the Nigerian landscape.
  • Differentiate between natural and man-made aesthetic phenomena: By studying both man-made objects like the Lekki Conservation Centre canopy walkway and natural phenomena such as the Osun-Osogbo Sacred Grove, students will learn to distinguish between artistic creations crafted by human hands and those formed by natural processes. Understanding these distinctions is crucial in developing a comprehensive understanding of art and its various forms.

Throughout this course, students will engage with visual representations, historical contexts, and cultural significance associated with various artistic phenomena in Nigeria. By examining the intricate details of sculptures, the grandeur of architectural feats, and the awe-inspiring beauty of natural landmarks, students will broaden their artistic knowledge and cultivate a deep appreciation for the rich artistic heritage that surrounds them.
