When the humanities class visited the Fort Smith Art Center these students, Sam Watts and Laura Benton, found the exhibits fascinating. humanities is study of man Humanities is the study of human nature and the way this nature affects art, music, literature, and philosophy. This class attempts to understand man by noting his changing attitudes down through the years from the ancient civilizations of four-hundred B.C. to the twentieth century. The humanities class learns to recognize in detail the different styles in the art works of the Greeks and Romans, the famous artists of the Renaissance, and the new vogue of modern times. They also study the music development of different composers from classical to jazz. This class took many field trips to give students a first hand experience with art. These included visits to the Fort Smith Art Center, and an all day field trip to Tulsa to the Gilcrease Museum, the World Museum and the Philbrook Museum.
