Section 1: Understanding Art
Section 1 will lay the groundwork for the rest of the course.
In the first instructional part of the course we will look at two things: what makes us 'Human Artists', and what the Humanities are. This information will lay some ground work for the entire course
In this part we will look at reasons for creating art and how the Art world defines those works of art
In this part we will review the Elements and Principles to build a vocabulary to talk about works of art.
In this part we will be reviewing how to speak intelligently about Art. It isn't enough to simply say, "I like it". The basis of this course is being able to talk about the art that we are looking at.
This part is simply an introduction to the Art periods we will be talking about during the course.
