College of Humanities and the Arts Passport

College of Humanities and the Art's Passport Program

Welcome to the College of Humanities and the Art's Passport Program! You're one of the first 91ÁÔÆæ students to test this prototype, so we're excited to explore this new idea with you.

The Passport is designed as a guide to participating in arts and humanities events on and around 91ÁÔÆæ, including events at the San Jose Museum of Art.

We've structured the Passport around four Quests—as you attend events and performances, mark them down in your Passport under a certain Quest to gain progress. Alongside each Quest is a short activity that you can complete to gain progress as well.

Quest: Structures
  • Attend any three events that connect with ideas of construction, building, modes of organization, systems, etc.
  • Write down the name of each event and the Key Takeaway that you got as it relates to the theme
  • Complete the Found Sound Haiku Activity page
 Quest: Identities
  • Attend any three events that connect with ideas of self, character, states of being, uniqueness of representation, etc.
  • Write down the name of each event and the Key Takeaway that you got as it relates to the theme
  • Complete the Collage Self-Portrait Activity page
Quest: Relationships
  • Attend any three events that connect with ideas of connection, association, involvement between people, etc.
  • Write down the name of each event and the Key Takeaway that you got as it relates to the theme
  • Complete the Conocimiento Conversation Activity page
 Quest: Narratives
  • Attend any three events that connect with ideas of story, accounts, depictions of events or experiences, etc.
  • Write down the name of each event and the Key Takeaway that you got as it relates to the theme
  • Complete the Restoring Recipe Activity page
