Introduction to Art is a course that will help to familiarize the student with fundamental ideas necessary to understand art from four primary focuses:
1. History- the study of various cultural styles
2. Criticism- conversations about art, its purpose and judgements concerning value
3. Design- the "language" of art - the ingredients, elements and organizing principles of art
4. Studio- "hands-on" production, exploring personal aesthetics and studio safety
The primary objective of this course is to provide an environment that will promote questioning, conversation, heightened personal aesthetic awareness and encouragement to explore personal creative potential.
