The visual and performing arts are disciplines with aesthetic, perceptual, creative and intellectual dimensions. They foster students' abilities to create, experience, analyze, and reorganize, thereby encouraging intuitive and emotional responses. Two-dimensional projects include drawing, painting, graphic design and printmaking using a wide range of media. Three-dimensional studies incorporate craft and design and include projects in clay, sculpture, and constructions using mixed media.
Students keep a workbook for related research assignments, preparation, and experimentation.
The workbook is an important component in overall assessment. Work is exhibited throughout the semester. This course may be taken more than once for credit. One Art 2 is a one semester course designed to acquaint students with the development of 20th.
