An introduction to the visual arts from both an analytical and historical perspective. Representational and abstract organizations are discussed. The historical perspective is presented in a brief chronological survey of painting, sculpture, and architecture in Western art from ancient Greece and Rome to the present day. Students will have experiences both inside and outside the classroom, including lectures, art demonstrations, hands-on activities, and possible conversations with specialists when available. Course Objectives (1) Identify and analyze the formal elements in paintings, as well as major monuments in architecture, and masterpieces of sculpture. (2) Learn, and ultimately utilize a specific vocabulary dealing with the visual language of the artist, involving both aesthetic and technical considerations. (3) Independently research, evaluate, and synthesize written scholarship on the visual arts (articles, books, and materials from peer-reviewed research on the internet). (4) Recognize the impact that great art has on not only the individual, but society, culture, and history. (5) Critically analyze a painting from a major museum, on site, as a final written exercise. (6) Employ technical and aesthetic concepts introduced in class in creative projects utilizing the techniques of various periods of art history
