Survey of Art |
2 hours |
|
| This course is designed to give touchstones concerning
the structure of art, how it changes with historical
periods, and how styles change to reflect the human
condition. The study of Art (drawing, painting,
sculpture, architecture, printmaking, and performance
art) using technical, formal, experiential, and
contextual criticism will be explored. This course
is intended to partially fulfill the requirements
for the general Humanities core, and may be combined
with Survey of Theatre (THET 200) or Music (MUSC
200) to create an overview of world arts and culture.
