Art

Art is a basic course providing experiences that will develop an awareness of art in the environment, art history and the student’s own work. These experiences will offer opportunities for the students to solve problems in working with a variety of materials and methods which will stimulate imagination, inventiveness, discovery and skills.

The focus of class is on the production of artwork (the making of art) through understanding of art history (exploration of the artistic heritage of many cultures), art criticism (analysis of qualities and features of art), and aesthetics (thinking about art and making informed judgments about art).
