Description: Explore the formal elements of art, the principles of design, and the different media that artists use. Gain insight into the process of artistic creation, including questioning, exploration, trial and error and discovery. The course is organized around five main themes: 1) The Visual World: Understanding the Art You See, 2) The Formal Elements and Their Design: Describing the Art You See, 3) The Fine Arts Media: Learning How Art is Made, 4) The Visual Arts in Everyday Life: Recognizing the Art of Design, 5) The Visual Record: Placing the Arts in Historical Context. Students will learn how artists use formal elements of design and the unique characteristics of each medium to make a work of art, apply principles of design, appreciate how making art is a process that involves critical thinking and problem-solving skills that relate to their own life experiences and develop an awareness of the social contexts in which works of art are created. Assignments include not only reading, writing and discussion, but also several hands-on creative projects intended to enrich the students' actual experience of art materials, methods and problem-solving processes.

Note: students are required to digitize and post their work online for evaluation; thus, students will need access to a digital camera or a scanner and the digital capacity to submit print material online as low-resolution JPEG images. This course has a required video component.

This course fully meets the General Education requirement in The Arts.

Important Note: The last term this course will be offered is FA1 2016. Students who have A World of Art on their degree plan might consider, in consultation with their mentor, substituting Humanities through the Arts: ART-221634.
