Fine Arts Visual

Catalog description

An introductory course in the field of art. Art history, its players, and its impact on society are presented. Slides are the main avenue with which to view famous art works. Famous movie clips, videos, and actual art pieces are presented. The student is introduced to the world of art that surrounds the globe, yet is present within one's own home. The student, regardless of background or experience, will gain the artistic knowledge of artwork from galleries, museums, movies (animated and live action), literary material, advertisements, logos, architecture, pottery, clothing, and even car designs. A field trip to the Brooks Art Museum in Memphis, Tennessee, is a scheduled activity, when feasible, outside the normal in-class participation
