AI 314 ART - Insights From Inside

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

Understanding art and artists is the result of gaining insight into the artist and his/her relationship to the society in which he/she lives, as well as the process of artistic creation itself. The production of contemporary Western art is the result of over three thousand years of evolution within a framework which can be traced to the ancient Greeks. This course will trace that evolution and engage the student in opportunities to experiement with various media to provide insights into artist's work. With the help of a series of videotapes, students will be taken on a "journey" from the earliest Greek monuments to the art of the present day to explore artistic styles, forms, and subjecs as they have changed through the ages. Students will do hands-on creating with pen and ink, water colors, and clay as a means of experiencing the role of media and the decisions which artists have to face in the course of their work.
