Art Fundamentals is an introductory course to the visual arts, as well as a prerequisite to several of our studio electives. This course offers students hands-on experience with making art, familiarity with art vocabulary and concepts, and a fuller understanding of the visual arts' role in contemporary society. Studio projects will explore two and three dimensional design, color theory, painting, and observational drawing using a variety of media. Historically significant techniques and influences will be presented and discussed with each project. Class expectations include project-related homework assignments and participation in group critiques of student work.
