This lecture course examines the visual arts. Painting, drawing, printmaking, multimedia art, the crafts, architecture, and sculpture are examined and defined through an analysis of heritage, contemporary criticism, process, and product. Students learn the expressive and communicative language of aesthetic form (i.e. line, shape, color) and its integral relationship to content within a work of art. The cultural use of artist materials and how artists create visual art using media will be explored. A survey of art of the world will study the impact of art on human history. The course includes lecture, text, and digital materials.
