In this course, students will place visual art elements within the contexts of line, color, and composition. This multi-cultural art study is an education in tolerance and perception. We will have a hands-on studio workshop in traditional design and a technology component is included via Adobe Photoshop. This course is an introduction to visual art through the techniques and practices of doing art. This foundation course stresses equally the growth of the art student's skill, knowledge, and self-expression, while developing an understanding of the nature of art through visual perception and execution.
Students maintain a portfolio of their work.
Art majors may contract for Honors credit in upper level art courses with the permission of the instructor. This advanced course may be selected by a student who has completed Studio in Art. The course provides a multiplicity of visual experiences in the areas of drawing and painting. The experiences are broad in scope and include electronic digital imagery that will enhance the student's ability and raise their creative potential. One unit of credit is issued to the student who completes a portfolio of assigned projects.
