Art Appreciation (ARTS 1301)

Instructor: Elizabeth Eicher

Art Appreciation

This introduction to the visual arts is a global investigation of artistic styles, methods of artistic production and media.  Various works will be analyzed and defined in relation to the formal elements and the principles of design.  Universal themes are studied within their historical, political, economic, theological, sociological, conceptual, and ethnic contexts.  Students will also develop critical thinking and observational skills through the creation of hands-on art projects
