  • FAS 141: Religion and Art

    3.00 Credits
    Wheeling Jesuit University

    If all art is communication, religious art is an attempt to communicate specifically about spiritual experience. Within the context of this course, such communication may take the form of prayerful communion with and about God or of commentary about religious experience. In any form, artistic communication is meant to be absorbed by an audience. Students will explore varieties of religious communication (via several media, including painting, sculpture, architecture, and video) with an equal focus on the formal elements and the artist's intention.

  • FAS 143: Women and Art

    3.00 Credits
    Wheeling Jesuit University

    The history and practice of Western art is profoundly male-dominated, reflecting the larger patriarchal hegemony that has ruled the centers of art patronage since classical times. Yet women have exercised an increasingly resonant voice in artistic expression since the early modern era in Western Europe. Examining major "old master" artists such as Artemisia Gentileschi and Marie-Louise-élisabeth Vigée-Lebrun and transitional Impressionists suchas Mary Cassatt and Berthe Morisot, the class will encounter the explosion of modern artistic creativity by women in the twentieth century and the contemporary art world.

  • FAS 145: Architecture

    3.00 Credits
    Wheeling Jesuit University

    The structures that humans have built and continue to build for themselves have a variety of functions, from the elemental provision for shelter, to grandiose claims about power, to genuine communication about self-identity, community, and theology. Certain basic assumptions about design persist; this course will begin with the elements of architectural vision and extend to questions and issues centered around what the great Chicago architect Louis Sullivan summed up in his famous statement,"form follows function."Textbook examples will be balanced by field-trip study.

  • FAS 146: Major Painters

    3.00 Credits
    Wheeling Jesuit University

    One of the great Romantic images of western culture is the solitary artist, envisioning the world, then capturing that vision on a frescoed wall, wood panel, or stretched canvas. This course examines the development of the western painting tradition from the Gothic era forward, acknowledging the influence of the classical world and other cultural traditions of image-making. Discussion will also consider a reassessment of canonical assumptions about "greatness." While some emphasis will be placed onstyles or schools, focus will be on representative geniuses of those schools, from Giotto through Warhol.

  • FAS 147: Hand and the Eye:Beginning Visual Art

    3.00 Credits
    Wheeling Jesuit University

    The relationship of inner-vision (what the mind sees) and creation (what the artist's hands produce) is the focus of this introductory course; there are no prerequisites for interested students other than an open mind to exploring their own creative directions and the work of other artists, both canonical and contemporary. Along with a solid grounding in the practical elements of two- and three-dimensional art, students will experience (with eyes and hands) at least the rudiments of drawing, watercolor painting, or sculpting.
