ART 160H - Art Appreciation – Honors


Credits: 3
Description
A writing-intensive introduction to the visual arts. Emphasis will be placed upon the acquisition of the tools and the skills necessary to understand and interpret works of art. Traditional art forms such as painting and sculpture will be considered as well as newer genres such as installation and performance. Courses with “H” suffixes are designated Honors-level courses and can be used to fulfill equivalent general education requirements.

Student Learning Outcomes
  1. Analyze the relationship between works of art (their form as well as function) and the particular historical/cultural circumstances in which they were produced.
  2. Apply appropriate vocabulary, concepts, and practices of looking to the analysis of works of art.
  3. Explain and compare two primary approaches to the appreciation of art: the aesthetic/formal and the contextual/historical.
  4. Formulate and justify his/her own method of appreciating works of art, drawing upon knowledge of the above.
