    Lecture This course will explore dance as an art form that uses the body and movement as its medium.

Some of the dance forms may include modern, jazz, hip hop, African, and Tai Chi. No formal dance training is required. Course work will include movement practice in most class meetings, periodic master classes in different dance styles, video and live concert viewing, experience with improvisation and choreography, and some readings on the aesthetic and cultural contexts of different dance traditions.

  • AT 2111: Drawing II

    3.00 Credits
    Landmark College

    Lecture AT1111 From the earliest times, the human figure has been a frequent and important subject in works of art. This course introduces students to the human figure. Students study the human form in three ways: through anatomical studies of the skeletal and muscular structure, through drawing sessions with a nude model and through action studies of both nude and clothed figures. They use a variety of techniques, including contour, gesture and modeled drawing, and a variety of materials, including pencil, charcoal, crayon and ink. Areas of focus include light and shade, point of view and composition. Through observation and analysis of the works of master artists and through critiques of their own work, students develop an understanding and appreciation of the use of the human figure in art. Each student produces a final project that demonstrates his or her unique understanding and expression of the concepts studied in the course. At the end of the semester, students participate in a student exhibit.

    Lecture AT1111 This course will build on students' previous experience in drawing to introduce them to the tools, materials, techniques, and basic language of painting as experienced through transparent and gouache paints. The use of wet materials combined with a deep exploration into the uses of color allows students to form visual ideas and express them in formal and non-traditional approaches. Still lives, landscapes and figure work will provide inspiration for many projects, yet students will also explore the possibilities of non-representational work. Finally, students will be exposed to and research the work of some major artists working in a variety of genres.
